Looking for a Logistics Company Near You in Gauteng?
Flexagon Freight & Logistics is a SARS-registered freight forwarder and customs clearing agent based at 2 West Street, Kempton Park CBD — beside OR Tambo International and central to the whole province. We cover Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg, Tshwane, the West Rand and the Vaal with customs clearing, air freight, sea freight, road freight, import and export solutions and warehousing.
"Near me" matters less than people think, and more than forwarders admit. What matters is whether a vehicle can reach you the same day and whether someone is standing at the cargo terminal when your entry is queried. Both are true from Kempton Park for most of Gauteng.

One Office, Positioned Where
Gauteng's Freight Actually Clears
When people search for a logistics company near them, what they usually want is three things: someone who can collect quickly, someone who will answer the phone, and someone who will not disappear when customs asks a question. Proximity is a proxy for those, not the thing itself — a forwarder two kilometres away who sub-contracts the clearing is worse than one thirty kilometres away who does it in-house.
Flexagon is at 2 West Street, Kempton Park CBD, beside OR Tambo International. That location is deliberate: the overwhelming majority of Gauteng's international air cargo clears at OR Tambo, and being next to the terminals is what lets us walk a query, attend a reweigh or lift a stop order the same day rather than the next one. From there, the R21, R24, N12, N3 and N1 put every part of the province inside a comfortable collection radius.
If you are in Kempton Park, Isando, Spartan, Jet Park or Pomona we are minutes away. If you are in Sandton, Pretoria, Roodepoort or the Vaal we run scheduled rounds rather than special trips. Either way, call +27 73 326 0521, email [email protected] or request a quote.

Six Freight Services,
Available Anywhere in Gauteng
The same six services wherever you are in the province. Learn More for the full scope of each, or go straight to the quote form.
SARS-Registered Customs Clearing and Forwarding
Import and export entries lodged electronically by our own staff, with tariff classification, valuation, ITAC and other permits, deferment and rules-of-origin documentation. We clear at OR Tambo, City Deep, Durban, Cape Town, Ngqura and the road border posts — and we handle SARS queries and stop orders ourselves rather than passing them on.
Air Freight Through OR Tambo International
Our office is beside the cargo terminals, which is where nearly all of Gauteng's international air cargo clears. Next-flight-out for urgent consignments, scheduled consolidations for regular shippers, charter for outsized or time-critical cargo, plus temperature-controlled handling and IATA DGR documentation.
Sea Freight via Durban, Cape Town, Ngqura and City Deep
FCL and LCL with the inland leg included — collection anywhere in Gauteng, road to the port, or delivery from City Deep where the container comes inland. Reefers, flat racks, open tops, break-bulk and project cargo, with VGM declarations and marine insurance arranged.
Road Freight — All Nine Provinces and Cross-Border SADC
Full loads, groupage and dedicated vehicles from anywhere in Gauteng, plus cross-border running through Beitbridge, Lebombo, Kopfontein, Skilpadshek, Oshoek, Caledonspoort, Vioolsdrift and Kazungula. GPS-tracked vehicles and border clearing handled by our own team.
Complete Import and Export Solutions
The whole chain rather than one leg: supplier coordination at origin, freight, marine insurance, customs clearing, duty and VAT, and delivery to your door. First-time importers and exporters get a walkthrough of Incoterms, SARS registration and the documents a supplier or buyer must provide.
Warehousing, Bonded Storage and Distribution
Bonded and general storage for cargo waiting on duty, a permit, a vessel or a customer. Cross-docking straight off inbound containers, pick and pack, stock reporting, and scheduled distribution anywhere in Gauteng and nationally.

How It Works, Wherever You Are in Gauteng
The same four steps from Kempton Park to the Vaal — with collection scheduling adapted to where you actually are.
01 · Tell Us What You Are Moving
Call +27 73 326 0521 or request a quote with your commodity, weight, dimensions, Incoterms and deadline. Tell us your suburb. Airport-belt collections are usually same-day; Pretoria, the West Rand and the Vaal run on scheduled rounds.
02 · We Plan and Price the Lane
We compare air via OR Tambo, sea via Durban or Cape Town, City Deep collection and road, then price what actually fits your deadline and margin. You receive an itemised quotation within 24 business hours covering freight, customs, handling, insurance and delivery — with alternatives where a different mode or routing saves money or time.
03 · Booking, Documents and Tracking
Entries are lodged by our own SARS-registered staff, and queries at the terminal are walked rather than emailed. We prepare and lodge the customs entry, book the carrier, arrange insurance and issue you a reference you can quote at any time. Your account manager is a direct line, not a ticket queue.
04 · Delivery and Documentation Pack
Delivery anywhere in Gauteng, across the nine provinces, into SADC or onward to an overseas destination. You get proof of delivery, the customs release and the full document set for your records and any SARS or auditor query later.
Sector Experience Across

Gauteng contains almost every sector in the South African economy. These are the ones we handle most.
What You Actually Get
From a Forwarder Near You
Six reasons Gauteng shippers switch to Flexagon — and stay.
Clearing Done In-House
We are SARS-registered and lodge our own entries. Classification, valuation, permits and queries stay with us — one accountable party rather than a chain of sub-contractors.
One party accountable on the entryPositioned Beside the Cargo Terminals
Almost all of Gauteng's international air cargo clears at OR Tambo. Being next to it is what turns a same-day resolution into a realistic promise.
Queries walked, not emailedCollections Across the Whole Province
Same-day in the airport belt; scheduled rounds for Pretoria, the West Rand and the Vaal so distant collections are not priced as call-outs.
All of Gauteng, properly scheduledModes Compared, Not Assumed
Air against sea, Durban against Cape Town, City Deep against direct — priced side by side so the routing decision is made on numbers.

🛣️ Gauteng's Freight Corridors, Terminals and Borders
Gauteng is served by OR Tambo International for air, City Deep for inland containers, and the N3 to Durban Port roughly 570 km away for sea. The N1 runs north to Beitbridge and south toward Bloemfontein and Cape Town; the N4 runs east on the Maputo corridor and west toward Botswana; the N12 and N14 cross the province. Cross-border loads leave via Beitbridge, Lebombo, Kopfontein, Skilpadshek, Oshoek, Caledonspoort, Vioolsdrift and Kazungula.
The Lanes We Run Most From Gauteng
Planning guides for the province's main freight lanes. Confirmed timings come with every quote.
| Lane from Gauteng | Mode | Indicative transit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gauteng → Durban Port | Road, ~570 km | 1 day | The primary sea gateway |
| Gauteng → Cape Town | Road, ~1,400 km | 2 days | Line-haul; reefer available |
| Gauteng → Gqeberha / Coega | Road, ~1,050 km | 2 days | Automotive corridor |
| Gauteng → Richards Bay | Road, ~600 km | 1–2 days | Bulk and project cargo |
| Gauteng → Gaborone, Botswana | Road via Kopfontein / Skilpadshek | 1–2 days | Short western cross-border |
| Gauteng → Maputo, Mozambique | Road via Lebombo | 1–2 days | Maputo Development Corridor |
| Gauteng → Harare, Zimbabwe | Road via Beitbridge | 3–5 days | Highest-volume SADC lane |
| Gauteng → Lusaka, Zambia | Road via Chirundu | 4–6 days | Transit bond through Zimbabwe |
| Gauteng → Lubumbashi, DRC | Road via Kasumbalesa | 7–12 days | Copperbelt corridor |
| Gauteng → Europe, UK, USA, Far East | Air or sea | 1–3 days air · 25–40 days sea | Air ex OR Tambo; sea via Durban |
Transit times are planning estimates, not guarantees. Cross-border road timings assume documentation is complete before departure — incomplete paperwork is the single largest cause of delay at every Southern African border post. Sea figures are port-to-port and exclude clearing at either end.
7 Costly Mistakes Gauteng Importers & Exporters Make —
and How We Prevent Them
Most freight overspend is not the rate. It is a delay, a penalty or a charge nobody planned for.
Wrong tariff heading
An inherited or guessed HS code can mean overpaid duty on every shipment — or a SARS penalty later. We check the heading, not copy it forward.
No importer / exporter code
Cargo cannot be cleared without SARS customs registration. We walk first-time traders through it before the goods ship.
Invoice and packing list don't match
Mismatched weights, values or descriptions trigger stops and inspections. We check supplier documents before departure.
Free days missed
Containers left past the free period rack up storage, demurrage and detention. We book collection against the release.
Wrong Incoterm
EXW, FOB or DAP decides who pays for what. The wrong one quietly moves costs onto you. We advise before you order.
Undeclared dangerous goods
Batteries, chemicals, aerosols and paints need DG documentation. Undeclared DG gets rejected or fined.
Choosing the cheapest rate, not the cheapest landed cost
A low freight rate with high port, clearing or delivery charges costs more. Our quotes show the full landed cost.
