Executive Summary
The Business
Kekeke Transport CC was formally registered in 2014 to provide freight and cargo distribution (transportation)
services. It was conceptualised by an ambitious entrepreneur, Ms Adelaide N Daniel, an Angolan resident who
frequents Namibia on a regular interval and owns a fixed property in one of the suburbs in Windhoek, Namibia
who is also owns 100% of the members’ interest. This exciting start up business will be located in Windhoek
As a start-up company, I intend to provide freight and containerised cargo transportation to its intended
destination as safely as possible, and in the shortest possible lead times. It is the company’s mission to
become one of the largest trucking companies operating on local and regional road networks. Our core focus
will be on the local and regional distribution of freight and cargo.

The solutions that the business will offer will be value driven as the value proposition of the business will be as
follows:
- To have a competitive pricing structure.
- To provide a high level of customer service and unflinching professionalism.
- To ensure reliable, convenient and timely deliveries – therefore resulting in improved margins and market
share for our clients.

The business opportunity


The business opportunity was realised by the member of the business, Adelaide N Daniel. There is currently a
notable growth in logistics and trade within Namibia and surrounding regions. The opportunity is also noted by
the momentum gained in the increased volume in trade on transport corridors especially the Trans-Caprivi and
Trans-Cunene corridor transport networks, as well as Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) between Namibia
and South Africa. Angola is a country that mostly imports its consumer goods from South Africa, and since the
owner has trucking business in Angola, Kekeke Transport will serve as the feeding transportation services from
South Africa (Johannesburg & Cape Town) to the Namibia/Angola border of Oshikango from which the existing
trucks from Angola will take over the cargo for distribution in Angola. Although from time to time the Kekeke
Transport trucks will proceed to destinations within Angola.

The competition
Competition for Kekeke Transport will emanate from both direct and indirect competitors. The freight and
containerised cargo transportation industry is a competitive industry and requires the development of business
strategies and solutions aimed at combating competition. Most of the competitors are well established; they
include Wesbank Transport, P. Weakly Transport and Slabbert Burger companies.

The competitive strategies


In order to compete efficiently and effectively, the business will develop a comprehensive Marketing Plan and
Strategy so as to better understand the market and assess as to how to better satisfy the customers.
Understanding the customers better than the competitors will be instrumental to the competitiveness of Kekeke
Transport. It will be important for the business to establish value laden relationships with its clientele; therefore,
customer intimacy will be of the essence. To win customers, the business understands that today’s customers
want exactly the solution they have in mind and therefore understanding them will be imperative.

The Management Team


Kekeke Transport recognises the importance of having an experienced management team. The quality and
track record of the management team is a crucial factor in determining the success of the company. The
organisational structure of Kekeke Transport will be made up of the following positions:
 Managing Director – Ms. Adelaide N Daniel
 Operations Manager – Mr. Celestino J. Sakupaula

4
 Accounting Officer – Mr. Faizel V. Uaendere
 Outsourced Bookkeeping & HR Services – provided by Don Consulting Services CC
 Drivers – x 3

The Strategies
The business will employ various strategies and these will take into account all the identified functional areas in
the business. The functional areas include marketing, operations, human resource, finance and administration.
The strategies identified are on three levels; namely, short-term or functional strategies, medium-term
(competitive or business) strategies and long-term strategies. The business will focus on implementing the
functional strategies in the short-term and these will be aimed at covering all operational features of the
business. The business strategies will be focused on the medium-term and these will be aimed at being
competitive and capturing a considerable market share. Long-term strategies will be aimed at achieving the
vision of the business and will look into diversification and growth.

Funding Requirements
The business will require N$6,319,365 in total in order to acquire the necessary assets for the business venture.

Risks and issues


The risks and issues associated with the business include: financial risk, event risk, market risk, technology risk
and human resource risk likely to emanate from the management and team. A financial risk is posed by the fact
that the financier will carry 80% of the start-up costs needed by Kekeke Transport. Event risks emanate from
the possible road accidents where our trucks are involved, while the market risk may emanate from strong well
established competitors controlling a considerable portion of the lucrative market share. Technology risks arise
due to the potential of data loss should the company’s information be stored on computer systems as these
could be vulnerable to viruses and malicious attacks. Lastly, the human resource risk is posed by the lack of
skilled, knowledgeable and experienced expertise in the transportation & logistics industry. Highly experienced
staff might be too costly to recruit and maintain by a start-up business such as Kekeke Transport. The business
has come up with comprehensive mitigation strategies to address the aforementioned risks.

Industry Associations
As a newcomer on the scene, we find it beneficial to associate ourselves with relevant industry bodies like the
Association of Freight Forwarders (AFF), Namibia Chamber of Commerce & Industry (NCCI), Walvis Bay
Corridor Group (WBCG) and the Namibia Logistics Association (NLA). Affiliations to the bodies provide strategic
advantages to our company as a source of potential business and more importantly, give credibility to the
company.

Risk Management
There are several risks associated with the cargo transportation hence to mitigate risks we intent to deploy
strategies amongst them training drivers to the highest possible safety standards, reduce accidents by limiting
driving to daylight and servicing our trucks after every 10,000/15,000 km as per manufacturers requirements.

The company is also going to protect truck and cargo with a comprehensive all risk insurance policy, which
includes third party cover for accidents that might be caused by our drivers.

Location of the Business


Kekeke Transport will seek a suitable location to render its services from Windhoek, Namibia. The business will
ensure that the location is such that it provides easy access to consumers, suppliers and other business
stakeholders. The location, Windhoek is estimated to have some over 600 000 inhabitants as shown by the
National Planning Commission. The figure has almost doubled to date. The city is the country’s business hub,
where a majority of business entities base their operations. Windhoek contributes lucratively to Namibia’s
manufacturing and services industries.

Industry Analysis
3.1 Industry Overview, Size and Growth

The freight and cargo transportation industry in Namibia has been steadily growing over the last decade, citing
increased trade volumes and improved road infrastructure. The warehousing and distribution industry is a
considerably large industry with an estimated size of over 1.1 billion Namibian Dollars. The growth rate is
estimated at 6% per annum. Cargo transportation is dependent on import/export activity, which in turn is
sensitive to major global countries. Volatility in mining output and demand for commodities dictates the volume
of business conducted by the transportation & logistics sector. Also, there is a direct correlation with the
manufacturing and wholesaling sectors.

Namibia features a number of commercial warehousing and distribution players. Warehouses are widely used
by manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, importers, exporters and transport entities. The players in the industry
are primarily engaged in operating warehousing and storage facilities for general commodities or merchandise,
refrigerated goods, and other products. In most instances the parties in the industry do not sell the goods they
handle. Established entities generally handle commodities in containers which are in the form of barrels, boxes
or drums.

This is done with the help of advanced equipment such as forklifts, racks and pallets. Well established
warehousing and distribution entities in Namibia offer a full range of services. They offer advanced distribution

7
services commonly referred to as logistics. Their services encompass labelling; breaking bulk, inventory control
and management, assembly of goods, order entry, packaging and transportation arrangements.

market segment. Major retailers in Namibia include Pick n Pay, Shoprite Checkers and
Spar. They require both general freight transportation services and these are normally
