What is your biggest success?
My greatest success thus far besides the names accolades is to be in a position to do what I say and set out to do - there is no greater accomplishment than to deliver on your word.
The original goal was to enter Durban logistics market, focusing on a one stop concept for timber exports, thus creating a product that will result in increased exports from South Africa and assisting in closing the gap between imports and exports in South Africa.
DSS has successful achieved this and is growing this product successfully with steady growth annually. Year 5 of implementation of this particular product and we are exporting + 8000 teu (Shipping containers) annually with 2025 already showing signs of further growt.
We have been recognised in the last 2 years consecutively as trailblazers in the logistics space and have earned the following accolades :
• KZN Top Women EmpowHer Finalist 2023
• Standard Bank Top Business Nationally – Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist 2023

• KZN Top Business Leaders 2024
We have also just signed a 5 year contract with one of South Africa’s largest and most sustainable forest, entrusting us to ship their products throughout the world.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Throughout the journey we have been faced with multiple challenges, but perseverance and resilience have been key components that have been instilled in our people and the way we operate.
2020 - Covid Year
2021 - KZN Riots
2022 - KZN Floods
2023 - Transnet Cyber Attack
2024 - Shortage of Methyl Bromide gas in SA which prevented timber trade between SA and India, our key trade partner - this was one of the biggest hurdles we have been faced with. But out persistence and discussions with government saw a positive result eventually.
