Freight Forwarding · Southern Africa
We arrange it.
You forget
the hassle.
Every shipment gets matched to the right carrier for the job, the best rate on the corridor, and a dispatcher who actually answers.
How a shipment moves
We move containers the way clocks move time.
Six quiet stages, tracked the same way every time. Scroll to follow a shipment from origin to confirmed delivery.
01 · PICKUP
Origin
Your goods leave the supplier or warehouse floor. We log weight, count, and condition before the doors close.
02 · YARD
Collection
Consolidated into the right vehicle for the route — FTL, LTL groupage, or specialised equipment for abnormal loads.
03 · CLEARANCE
Processing
Documentation and customs paperwork prepared ahead of the border, so the truck doesn't wait on us.
04 · TRANSIT
Cross-Border
Beit Bridge, Kazungula, Kopfontein, Lebombo — routed through the post our dispatchers know best for your cargo.
05 · HANDOVER
Delivery
Final-mile delivery to your door or distribution point, with a named driver and a signed handover.
06 · CLOSED
Confirmation
Proof of delivery logged and sent. The shipment is closed — not just delivered, accounted for.
How it moves
The right carrier for every shipment.
As a freight forwarder, we match every shipment to a vetted carrier partner for the right vehicle, corridor, and rate — so you always get the best option on the market for that specific job.
01 · LONG-HAUL
Full Truckload & Groupage
Carrier partners running the Beit Bridge, Kazungula, Kopfontein and Lebombo corridors — booked against live rates, not a fixed price list.

Why MA Logistics
Specific, not abstract.
Named accountability
When we say we, we mean it. If a load runs late, you get a reason and a new time — not a status update.
Regional route knowledge
Beit Bridge, Kazungula, Kopfontein, Lebombo — our dispatchers know each border post's rhythm, not just its name.
Competitive, transparent pricing
We shop your shipment across multiple carrier partners for every quote, so you get market rate — not markup.
Fast quotes, faster support
Most quotes go out within hours, not days. And when you need someone, you get a dispatcher on the phone — not a queue.

Questions
Common questions
How quickly can I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form and you'll see an instant estimate before you even submit. A dispatcher confirms the exact quote — usually within a few hours during business days.
Do you own your own trucks?
We're a freight forwarder, not a carrier — we match every shipment to a vetted carrier partner for the right vehicle, corridor, and rate, so you always get market pricing built around your specific job.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Germiston, Gauteng, and arrange freight across South Africa and into Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia.
Can I track my shipment?
Yes — every confirmed shipment gets a tracking number you can check any time at malogisticsza.com/track. If you lose it, you can look it up again using the email or phone number you gave us.
What documents do I need for a cross-border shipment?
It depends on the route and goods, but generally you'll need a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant permits. Your dispatcher will tell you exactly what's needed for your specific route before confirming.
How is my quote calculated?
Based on weight, volume, distance, goods category, and urgency — you'll see a full line-item breakdown before confirming, both on-screen and in a downloadable PDF. No hidden fees.
