From Vision to Reality: Aldworth Mbalati’s LNG Terminal Projects Are Transforming South African Infrastructure

By DNG Energy Media Team

Aldworth Mbalati’s belief in energy transformation has moved beyond boardroom strategies—it’s breaking ground across South Africa. Through DNG Energy, Mbalati is spearheading the construction of state-of-the-art LNG terminals designed to meet the nation’s growing demand for clean and reliable energy.

These infrastructure projects are more than just industrial feats—they are symbols of South Africa’s energy independence and industrial modernisation.


🏗️ Strategic Terminal Locations

DNG Energy is developing LNG import and storage terminals in:

  • Coega (Eastern Cape) – for Eastern Seaboard supply and marine bunkering
  • Richards Bay (KwaZulu-Natal) – industrial fueling and LNG truck deployment
  • Saldanha Bay (Western Cape) – LNG storage and ship-to-shore operations

Each location is chosen for proximity to ports, logistics corridors, and regional energy needs.


⚙️ Cutting-Edge Design

These terminals feature:

  • Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs)
  • Cryogenic storage tanks
  • Bunkering infrastructure
  • LNG truck loading bays

All built to international safety and environmental standards.


💼 Economic Impact

The terminal developments are generating:

  • Thousands of construction and operational jobs
  • Opportunities for local suppliers and engineers
  • Increased investment in adjacent industries

These projects are expected to deliver decades of energy security and economic value.


🗣️ “Energy Access Starts with Infrastructure”

“To change the energy story, you must build the tools for it,” Mbalati says. “These terminals aren’t just storage sites—they are gateways to a cleaner, stronger future.”

By building LNG infrastructure at scale, Aldworth Mbalati is laying the foundation for a modern energy economy in South Africa.
