Cape Town, 21 August 2017: Disruption is the name of the game in business today and some South African students are learning first-hand what it is all about. As part of guiding the next generation of transport and logistics professionals, Linebooker – South Africa’s leading online bidding platform for road freight transport – has been instructing students from Stellenbosch University to ensure change management is top-of-mind as industries transform at a rapid rate.

Andries Louw, founder and MD of transport technology firm Milotek, is thinking big. “I want to provide African cities with a congestion-free, automated mass-transport solution that operates profitably at fares of under US5c/person/km,” he says.

Cape Town-based start-up Linebooker has introduced a Web-based platform allowing customers to be connected to logistics companies that transport goods and products around SA.
