Similar to other SADC countries, Zambia remains dependant on South Africa for key imports. Fuel being one such import, Siyakhulisa Logistics has successfully facilitated the transport of fuel from South Africa to key retailers across Zambia for over 7 years.

Fuelling the growth in Zambia is reliant on a consistent and safe energy supply. The main corridor between South Africa and Zambia remains a challenge as many logistics companies struggle to safely move goods without delays or losses. Siyakhulisa Logistics has implemented a key logistics strategy that not only safely moves fuel from South Africa to Zambia but is done within time.

Solutions Rather than Problems

It is Siyakhulisa Logistics philosophy to focus on solutions rather than the problems at hand. With over 14 years of experience in the logistics space, building a safe reliable network is a primary objective for the company. The Siyakhulisa Logistics Network (SLN) offers customers the best reassurance of timeous regular delivery between South Africa and Zambia.

This is achieved using a customised tracking platform, allowing Siyakhulisa Logistics to take ownership over risks safely navigating the fleet from South Africa to Zambia. Driving the Siyakhulisa Logistics’ fleets is a team of trained, alert, and experienced drivers. Well versed with the South Africa Zambia corridor, the team of Siyakhulisa Logistics drivers effectively navigate the challenges at hand and secure safe passage.

Support for a Growing Region

Zambia is not the only beneficiary of Siyakhulisa Logistics fuel deliveries. Zimbabwe, Malawi and Botswana all benefit from timeous safe delivery of fuel from South Africa via the SLN. A long-term objective for the management team is a group of networks reaching as far as the Congo. SADC is earmarked for substantial growth post-covid-19 and securing a fuel line to help drive this growth is essential.  It is estimated that over 70% of freight across SADC is transported by road. The majority of this freight stems from South Africa. The proliferation of new logistics companies has contributed to road congestion, accidents, and theft. In a saturated market, Siyakhulisa Logistics cuts a lonely figure as one of few that deliver fuel safely and ontime.
