At Unitrans, we believe logistics is more than moving goods, it’s about moving industries, communities, and people forward. That’s why we created the Unitrans Podcast, a platform where knowledge meets collaboration.
In each episode, we explore how fresh thinking, customised solutions, and people-centred leadership are reshaping supply chains across Africa. From safety and sustainability to digital innovation and operational efficiency, our experts and partners share insights that set new benchmarks for what logistics can achieve.
Tune in, and discover how Unitrans can help you
make your growth happen.
It’s not always cutting‑edge technology, complex systems or major strategic decisions. In this episode of Make Growth Happen, we sit down with Abdullah Moerat, People Development Manager at Unitrans, and Hubert Jacobs, Driver Trainer at Unitrans, to explore the role of leadership, mindset and personal responsibility in creating safer, more reliable operations.
Protecting the Supply Chain Behind Food Production. What keeps Africa’s food systems running long before products reach shelves? In this episode of Make Growth Happen, we explore one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, parts of the agricultural value chain: feed logistics.
Featuring Liesl De Wet (Unitrans’ Head of Sustainability), this conversation explores how the industry is navigating the balance between efficiency, reliability and decarbonisation in environments where infrastructure, cost pressures and operational realities demand practical solutions.
What does it take to change an industry from the driver’s seat? In this episode of Make Growth Happen, Iveco #ThankYouTrucker winners Mavis Ndumo and Cynthia Thala share their experiences as women in transport and logistics, challenging perceptions and helping raise standards across the industry.
Part 2: Logistics in Africa is shaped by far more than movement alone. In this episode, industry leaders unpack the infrastructure, regulatory and operational realities that continue to impact efficiency across the continent and what it really takes to keep supply chains moving reliably in complex environments.

Sustainable logistics and transportation in Africa doesn’t start with infrastructure. It starts with people and communities. In this episode, our Passenger Transportation team explores how community partnerships are enabling safer operations, stronger local economies and more resilient transport networks. A practical look at how collaboration and shared value are driving performance in complex environments.
Fuel logistics is one of Africa’s most complex, high-risk supply chains and as the energy transition accelerates, the last mile matters more than ever. In this episode, Unitrans explores how smart logistics is improving safety, reliability and efficiency through real-time visibility, predictive maintenance and operational expertise. A practical look at how fuel distribution is evolving to meet today’s demands while preparing for what’s next.
This episode explores why Africa’s supply chain advantage lies not in data alone, but in the people who bring it to life. As African logistics networks become more complex, this conversation unpacks why the smartest supply chains are built at the intersection of data, people and judgement, not automation in isolation. Our guests discuss how analytics and digital systems empower teams on the ground to make faster, safer and more effective decisions, especially in environments where unpredictability is the norm.
