Whilst Easter Weekend normally is a time of year when only our operational staff stay on duty to ensure the effective movement of freight and effective running of our aviation division.

2022 was yet again a year of change. After the devastating floods in Durban non-essential staff from Durban and their family members with the financial backing of South Africa mobilised to cook and distribute warm meals to displaced individuals in the Pinetown area, one of the hardest hit areas in the Durban West Region. This campaign will be running for the remainder of the long weekend.

We want to thank our staff and and their family members for showing the world what spirit of caring is all about, and helping those in need when they need it the most.

Happy Easter to all our stakeholders around Southern Africa.
