Entrepreneurs On The Move: Njabulo Ngcobo, Managing Director At Ngcobo Molapo Logistics (Nm Logistics)

Loading player...
Njabulo Ngcobo, born and raised in a township just outside of Durban called Inanda is deeply passionate about Africa and believes that with the right opportunities for its people, business environment and African leadership it can reach its full potential.
Njabulo studied Sport Sciences at the University of Pretoria before leaving his studies to start an internship that later turned into fulltime employment at Discovery Vitality's Research and Development team. After years in Corporate, in 2016 at the age of 27 he decided to follow his true calling of being an entrepreneur and started Ngcobo Molapo Logistics (NM Logistics) with his brothers Ayanda and Thabiso Ngcobo, as well as close friend Nkhethoa Molapo.
The concept for NM Logistics came from what Njabulo and his friends called “Case Study Fridays” where they’d come together on Fridays to unpack business cases studies by acting as consultants and identify the challenges these businesses were faced with and find solutions to turn them around. Through this educational yet fun activity, Njabulo identified a gap in the logistics market that later led to the inception of NM Logistics.
