Harare-based Freight World
has opened its own offices in
Johannesburg and has plans
to open additional offices in
Musina and Durban in order
to offer a full “one stop shop
service which is not reliant on
third parties,” says executive
chairman Ben Mukandi.
It also supports the
expansion of Freight World’s
footprint into the Southern
African Development
Community region.
“As a fully
fledged logistics
and freight
company we
are handling
exports
to Zambia, Malawi and
Botswana, in addition to
freight bound for Zimbabwe,”
says Mukandi.
In addition to Johannesburg,
the company has offices in
Harare (headquarters and
airport office), Bulawayo,
Nyamapanda, Forbes/Mutare,
Plumtree, Chirundu and
Beitbridge/Musina.
Freight World’s
Johannesburg office, which
is headed up by Quenten
McCurrie, provides a full
forwarding and support
service for customers
using the South
African gateways.
With the opening
of the office the company
has been able to launch its
scheduled own roadfreight
consolidation service.
Vehicles leave Gauteng on
Mondays (delivery in Harare
Friday) and Thursday (delivery
in Harare Monday).
A consolidation service is
also provided to Zimbabwean
shippers for the return leg.
International support is
provided by
global logistics
company DSV
Air and Sea.
