Description

In this episode, I sit down with Godiragetse, founder and CEO of Delivery Ka Speed, to explore how he’s building one of South Africa’s most exciting township logistics businesses.


What started with bicycles and WhatsApp has grown into a company now partnered with global giants like Alibaba, Temu, and Shein, delivering across four provinces—and aiming to go national.


We dive into how Godi pivoted from food delivery to logistics, broke even in just three months, and tackled the challenge of managing customer complexity while scaling fast.


He shares how founders often become bottlenecks, and how stepping into “full founder mode” helped him unlock his team’s potential.


We also get into how he’s built a culture of ownership, getting employees 100% bought into the mission, and why customer service is still their biggest edge—especially in township markets.


Securing multinational clients has changed the game for Delivery Ka Speed—and Godi reveals what this means for their future growth.


This episode is packed with real talk on scaling, pivoting, and building something that truly serves its market.
