About us

Moving Southern Africa forward

100% Black-owned, dedicated management, and a team that has spent decades moving freight across South Africa and the SADC region.

Why we exist

Built to drive transformation

100% Black ownership and dedicated management form the backbone of Eastgate Logistics Express. We want to drive transformation by ensuring more Black South Africans and companies take an active, influential role in the economy — particularly within the Logistics Management, Transport and Supply Chain sectors. In doing so, we contribute to the broader economic and social renaissance of South Africa and the SADC region.

Our team brings extensive industry experience and a passion for excellence. We believe success comes from continuous growth, which is why every staff member is empowered with the knowledge, skills and training to stay at the forefront of the Transport, Supply Chain Management, and Customs Clearing & Forwarding industries.

Our motto, “Efficiency in Motion,” reflects this philosophy. It is both a commitment and a reminder: if we are not learning, we are not growing. With that mindset, we strive to remain a highly effective, efficient and trusted partner — today and into the future.
