Small businesses. Big potential. 🚀

Starting a business takes courage. Growing one takes knowledge, resilience and access to the right opportunities.

That's what Babcock's Enterprise Development Programme (EDP) is all about.

Our latest group of entrepreneurs recently received laptops to support their learning and help them apply new skills to the everyday challenges of running a business.

It's another step in a programme that has supported emerging entrepreneurs in South Africa for more than a decade, combining practical business education, mentorship and guidance to help build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

We're proud to play a part in helping South African entrepreneurs build businesses with a future.

South Africa doesn’t have a truck problem. It has an infrastructure problem.

For transporters, the condition of our roads has a very real business impact, from increased vehicle wear and maintenance costs to downtime, reduced productivity and lower asset values.

And the impact goes much further than the transport industry. When the cost of moving goods increases, those costs ultimately move through the supply chain and contribute to greater pressure on businesses and consumers. South African infrastructure problem is costing transporters.

At Babcock, we believe an efficient transport industry needs infrastructure that allows investment in modern vehicles and technology to deliver its full potential.

Four years of training, hard work and hands-on experience – and now they're qualified diesel mechanics! 👏🔧

Our three newest diesel mechanics started their apprenticeships in 2022 through the Babcock education and training division, combining technical training with practical experience at our Transport Solutions facilities.

Today, all three are qualified and have joined our team full-time – two in Isando and one in Middelburg.

Congratulations to all three on reaching this milestone! It's great to see the next generation of skilled technicians building their careers with Babcock.

What do drivers value most when the road ahead is long and unpredictable?

🗣️ “Our drivers love them.” - Paul Botha, owner of Pangolin Logistics.

For Pangolin Logistics, driver comfort is an important part of productivity—not an optional extra.

Its new DAF XF 480 and XF 530 trucks offer spacious cabs and premium comfort features for those working demanding cross-border routes between South Africa and Mozambique. Because a truck must work for the business and the person behind the wheel.

They tested the trucks. They compared the numbers. Then they ordered SEVEN more DAFs.

320,000 km without a breakdown. Impressive fuel efficiency. Lower operating costs.
Faith Transport put DAF to the test against other leading truck brands on the same routes across Southern Africa. The results convinced them to expand their fleet with seven new DAF XF 530 trucks from Babcock.

Don't take our word for it. Hear it from the people running the trucks.
Watch their story.
