Freight & Trading Weekly's launch 30 years ago coincided with the introduction of containerisation in South Africa.

Since then it has evolved into a ‘must-read’ information bank for importers, exporters and their service providers, covering a wide range of information that is relevant to anyone conducting international trade – from customs issues and market opportunities to transport and logistics news.

The weekly ‘quick-read’ newspaper is supplemented by a range of special features, published monthly, which focus on areas of interest in the industry. These include Supply Chain Management, Electronic Solutions and Transport into Africa.

Its motivated and passionate staff have been the backbone of its continued success, not only in the current buoyant trade environment, but also during economically and politically challenging times.


Freight & Trading Weekly has been recognised by Pica as one of the top transport journals in the country.

ABC-audited circulation April to June 2010 is 3 964.
