August 2016

This month our focus turns mainly to the travel and transportation industries and we hear from some of the country’s biggest and most important companies in this space. Transnet and CEO Siyabonga Gama tell us more about a pleasing set of financial results; Autopax Acting CEO, Bongani Kupe explains more about the bus operator’s growth strategy; Uniplate MD, Dev Naicker tells us more about how the company is looking to assist in crime prevention; Transaction Capital CFO, Mark Herskovits explains more about growing its SA Taxi business; and we also hear from Civils 2000, a construction company based in the Western Cape who are specialists in road building.

The travel and transport industries are vital to the SA economy and, like in any country, the government is investing heavily to improve and upgrade a sector that can make or break economic development plans. Fortunately, the companies featured this month are all experts in their fields and have mastered their trade meaning that their input to the industries they serve has become vital, and that is why they’re featured in Enterprise Africa!

In different sectors, we look at some other long-established companies that are experts in their field including Barno, Kemtek Imaging Systems and McCormick Property Development. The one thing that ties the success of all of these companies together is attention to detail. Keeping a close eye on the small details has helped them all to grow into organisations that are recognised internationally for their quality.

Tell us about your story of success, and what you’ve had to do to achieve it @EnterpriseAfri1
