As we continue to see increased demand for express delivery in Africa, we are expecting to see even more positive growth for the country, and even more investment.’

The company has targeted the development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the growth engine for Africa and critical for sustainable growth.

DHL is the first and largest express company in Africa and has made significant investments in recent years.
