Gabcon participated at the Global Expo held in Gaborone, Botswana from the 11^th to 14^th October 2023. The theme for this year’s expo was “AFCFTA as a Springboard for improved Intra- Africa Trade”.

ACTFTA (African continental Free Trade Area) 

“The aim is to enable the free flow of goods and services across the continent and boost the trading position of Africa in the Global market by eliminating trade barriers and boost intra- Africa trade” – AFCFTA ( African continental Free Trade Area mandate)

Gabcon as an internationally recognized container terminal coupled with its strategic location plays a critical role in trade at both regional and international level. As a bonded facility, Gabcon has the potential to contribute significantly towards achievement of a free flow of goods in the region.

Gabcon was awarded the Rand Merchant Sustainability Award, having attained  position 2. This award was given to companies that demonstrated the ability to grow in harmony with the environment. Ms Baile Corrigan, Head of Global Markets presented the award.

The Strategic retreat was  held in March 2017, at Jwaneng with representation from all company functions and levels.  We used that as an opportunity to step out of our daily routine to discuss needed adjustments to plans and other pivotal company issues. The company is also conscious of the need to empower local communities by hosting our within the country and across its geographical spread. All work and no play make Johnny a dull play; here at GABCON we don’t mind throwing in a bit of “FUN” to the mix to get the work done.

The success of a company is heavily dependent on the overall performance of its employees as research shows that employees spend most of their time at the office than at their own households. At GABCON, we understand the value of each member of staff as well as their input, in prioritizing health by constantly encouraging staff to ensure that there is work-life balance, we often times demonstrate through our own wellness day events and in 2016 it was held at WAGGA GARDENEX.

After a year of hard work, sweat, tears, laughter and sleepless nights to achieve our yearly goals; we needed to reflect back on the year we have had and correct the mistakes we have made along the way. As the Managing Director, Lesedi Moakofhi said, we all have to join in the festive mood and recognize the employees effort by affording all the opportunity to be merry.  We decided to take off our work suits and end the year in style and elegance.
