ABOUT US
   

African Express was established in 1993 as MDS Couriers (Pty) Ltd
Botswana. From its humble beginnings, the company has grown
into the largest express freight company in Botswana. Today it
employs more then 200 employees in 9 branches in Botswana
and South Africa.

In March 2002 MDS Couriers became part of the Unitrans
family, when 60% of the company was acquired by Unitrans
Freight (Commercial), and a new company. African Express,
was established in Botswana. Subsequently, in January 2003,
African Express was established in South Africa where Unitrans
Freight (Commercial) holds 50% of the shares.
   

African Express has embarked on an initiative whereby it will employ empowerment partners into all present and future ventures. This will assist the company to reposition itself to reflect the demographics and characteristics of the countries and regions in which it operates.
