Mail and cargo transport

The market for mail and cargo transport in the Western Cape is worth about R26 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. It's also a relatively crowded space, with 56 suppliers already vying for contracts from 12 different government departments. Notably, the Department of Transport and other departments in the province favour businesses with a high black ownership percentage, with about 97% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with key decision-makers in these departments and ensuring your B-BBEE level is up to date to increase your chances of securing a contract.
