INTRO: With over 90 percent of the country's trade volume moving by sea, President Cyril Ramaphosa says the current conflict in the Middle East could have positive implications for  South African ports and their strategic value.  This came out during three day National Transport Conference held in Midrand north of Johannesburg. Over 700 delegates were part of this conference. Currently the US-Israel war against Iran has affected the global oil supply with Pretoria not being spared. Analysts expect a jump in fuel prices next month on the back of much higher oil prices.
