Background
Our company was established in 1957 by Slabbert Burger. After his retirement he left a long lasting legacy that is still seen nationally on our roads. He handed over the reins of his name to his next of kin, Jannie Burger, Martin Burger and Letha Trautmann. Together they form the lifeline from where the company’s heart beats. All employees at SlabbertBurger Transport understand that our greatest asset is vested in having a reputable name proudly displayed to all sectors of the public and market place.
We are based in the Western Cape. We have operating depots in Brandvlei, Johannesburg, Vanderbijlpark, Durban, Middelburg, Windhoek as well as Keetmanshoop. We operate in RSA, Swaziland, Southern Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The Burger family, Letha, Jannie and Martin own the Company and, together with a dynamic management team, operate what is arguably the most successful transport company in Southern Africa.
