TULSAWIZ LOGISTICS

SIMPLIFYNG AND CONNECTING YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN FROM END TO END

Tulsawiz Logistics, a women owned, B-BBEE Level 1 company provides transport, supply chain and logistics services within South Africa, and cross-border transport of high tonnage goods throughout the Southern African region. Aimed at linking small black businesses with clients who require our services, we design a system for each client that enables them to make the right routing decisions, taking into account both cost and services. We are proud of our inbound and outbound logistics expertise that we have garnered over the past 20 years.

Our journey...

Established in 2011, Tulsawiz Logistics initially worked with mining companies and subcontracted under different entities who had mining rights to purchase the stockpile in Witbank, Mpumalanga. The company’s road to success began when Barloworld Logistics acquired our services in 2018 to transport Corobrik bricks between Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga. We gained a reputation transporting containers along the N3 between Durban Harbour and Johannesburg, as well as land locked and

rough terrains. In 2019, we partnered with the Gauteng Government Development Agency (GGDA) and exported wine from Cape Town to Accra (Ghana). Our resilience showed by surviving the Covid-19 pandemic that sadly affected our industry severely. We dug deeper, and our tenacity paid off when we recently secured a multi-millionrand contract in the auto-motive sector. Tulsawiz now provides services in all types of trucks from 8-ton to 34-ton tautliners and flat decks.

Our clients

Tulsawiz’s approach to business is that when we serve our customers, it also helps them improve their business efficiencies and productivity. The company offers its customers a highly innovative online track and trace system to improve interactions with the customers, giving them added peace of mind. Our system is specifically aimed at eliminating unnecessary administration, communication and logistical hurdles. “Our strategic intent is for our clients to rely on our expertise and experience to develop strategies and innovative solutions for all their transportation and distribution challenges, says Mayeza.”

Founder and Managing Director: Nozuko Mayeza

With women making up less than 1% of the workforce in South Africa’s transport sector, inspirational leaders like Mayeza are vital in transforming the landscape. The tough and highly competitive transport industry has been traditionally male dominated, but her keen business sense and passion for entrepreneurship lead her from a career in the banking sector to establishing Tulsawiz Logistic with a vision of success and a yearning for providing a platform for small black businesses in the supply chain economy. Today Mayeza can proudly look back on her entrepreneurial journey, her wellhoned leadership skills and her expertise and accomplishments in the transport and crossborder logistical support services industry.

Mayeza has a wealth of knowledge that she has amassed over the years that she ploughs into her business there are numerous accolades that give credence to her industry worth:

• Nominated for the 2018 Women in

Transport Award in the 11th Annual

Transport Africa Awards • Runner up in the 2018 Influential

Women in Trucking Awards • Featured member in the British

Chamber of Business in South Africa

• In member of the ABSA Enterprise

Development Program

“With our resilience and our nevergive-up spirit, we secured a R90-million project in the automotive industry. The new project has been the cause of our greatest excitement; the highest amount we have previously grossed was R6.4-million, and now we are going to triple that as our turnover for the next three years. Building on what we have achieved, we’ve given ourselves a target of acquiring R250-million in business in the next 3 years,” says Mayeza.

On empowerment and transformation

Tulsawiz was established with the aim of providing a platform for small black businesses to link with opportunities in the formal sector of the economy and with that in mind she co-authored the empowerment book titled “Share your story” - vol. 5.

Her passion for empowering women and sharing her knowledge and experience in this male dominated world led to her publishing “The rise of a black woman” in 2018.

Mayeza encourages women to take up truck driving and assists in helping them achieve that dream. The company has partners for women in trucking in SA and abroad, and has successful programmes to train women drivers from scratch, that culminates in them getting accreditation from large reputable companies.

Mayeza’s company is invested in uplifting the youth, and the Tulsawiz team dedicates time and resources to empowering the youth in the regions where they operate. The company also assists a few NGOs with empowering the youth in different ways, depending on what the NGOs need at any given time.

2022 and beyond

Mayeza’s vision is to expand operations into Africa and abroad. “Building on what we have already achieved we have given ourselves a target of acquiring R250-million in business in the next 3 years,” she says. 
