At the age of 24 Mr Sidwell Pharela started working at a trucking company where he at first washed and loaded long haulers. He later became a driver but was taken off the road after an accident and started working in the office, where he worked for ten years learning about the business.Because of his passion, hard work and dedication, Mr Sidwell started out on his own working from his bakkie as a transport broker.
His wife, Mrs Nopinkie Pharela, helped him and together they would park outside truck yards in Epping. They wrote down the names and telephone numbers on the doors of the trucks and contacted the companies for loads they had secured. They quickly realised that this could be a start to a promising journey!
He faced many challenges and setbacks on his journey, but learn from mistakes and failures, and use them as stepping stones for growth and improvement to become the Managing Director he is today! His path from general assistant to managing director was a marathon, not a sprint. It required dedication, hard work, and a continuous commitment to learning and development.
