Sebenza focuses on telecoms industry

Telecommunication has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Western Cape, offering businesses the opportunity for growth, says Eddie Kruger, Sebenza branch manager in Cape Town. Sebenza Forwarding and Shipping, which began operating in 1997 as the first black empowerment clearing and forwarding company, has its own fleet of vehicles and a warehousing facility that caters for free and bonded storage in the Western Cape. “Opportunities for business growth in the telecommunications industry are positive because companies in this sector are expecting growth for 2009,” says Kruger. “For us at Sebenza it is important to explore these opportunities and pursue more business in this industry as we already have the experience to handle the work. We are actively moving towards increasing that business.” According to Kruger, Sebenza has big expectations for 2009, which include company growth as well as growth in the number of clients.
