As Transport Month puts the spotlight on the critical role of transport in driving South Africa’s economy, Delivery Ka Speed is proudly demonstrating how a homegrown logistics platform can move more than just parcels – it can move people and communities forward too.
Founded to simplify and speed up last-mile delivery, Delivery Ka Speed has become a trusted platform for fast, reliable deliveries across townships and city hubs. But beyond getting packages to their destinations on time, the company is committed to creating real economic opportunities for the communities it operates in.
Through its innovative Earn Ka Speed programme, the platform empowers local residents to become independent delivery partners and earn an income on their own terms. With flexible schedules, digital onboarding, and continuous support, Earn Ka Speed is breaking down barriers to entry into the logistics sector – giving youth, job seekers, and informal traders a way to earn sustainably and build their futures.
Supported by Telkom Futuremakers and Aions Ventures, Delivery Ka Speed is leveraging cutting-edge operational and business expertise to strengthen its platform and expand its capacity to deliver the crucial last mile, ensuring that every order creates impact from click to doorstep.
“Transport is the lifeblood of our economy, and during Transport Month we are proud to show how delivery can be more than a service – it can be a vehicle for change,” says Aviwe Roro, Head of Operations at Delivery Ka Speed. “By helping people earn while they deliver, we are driving access to income, skills development, and entrepreneurship in the very communities we serve.”
With South Africa’s growing need for agile, community-based delivery solutions, Delivery Ka Speed is proving that technology, when paired with social purpose, can deliver far more than parcels – it can deliver hope.
