An interest-free loan of R10 million from Exxaro’s ESD programme enabled Sokoma Transport and Logistics to save R130 000 a month by settling leasing agreements in 2020. The company, owned by Themba Dabula, was able to purchase a grader and articulated dump truck. With a three-year road construction and maintenance contract at Mafube, Dabula must maintain a substantial asset base and a storage facility in Middelburg, Mpumalanga.
