R5.8bn DHL boost to connect Africa to world

Global logistics giant DHL Group has committed more than €300-million (about R5.8-billion) to supercharge trade and logistics across Sub-Saharan Africa - a move set to create jobs, open new markets for small businesses, and accelerate Africa's integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

The multiyear investment, announced in Johannesburg and Bonn, Germany this week, will be deployed across DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding, and DHL Supply Chain to expand gateways, strengthen cold-chain logistics for farmers and pharmaceutical suppliers, and speed up delivery between fast-growing trade cities.

"Africa is at a pivotal moment in its trade journey," said John Pearson, CEO of DHL Express.

"Despite global volatility, the continent continues to show resilience and momentum. Our investment reflects confidence in Africa's trajectory."
