Idea

Trans-Kalahari Logistics CC is a Namibian logistics and transportation company founded in 2009 by Josef Penda Mundjele. Initially focused on long-distance transport, the company has expanded into logistics infrastructure development. With extensive experience in cross-border transportation, Trans-Kalahari Logistics has positioned itself as a key player in supporting the movement of goods across Namibia and the broader SADC region.

Challenge

Trans-Kalahari Logistics CC is addressing the critical shortage of modern logistics and warehousing infrastructure in northern Namibia, where high temperatures and a lack of cold chain facilities challenge businesses in handling perishable goods. By situating the plaza at a strategic transport junction, the company reduces costs and transit times for regional traders from Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the DRC. The facility is designed to support large-scale storage, streamlined distribution, and a range of professional services, helping businesses overcome logistical bottlenecks and enabling more efficient trade throughout the SADC region.

Solution

Trans-Kalahari Logistics CC is developing the Nakathilo Commercial and Logistics Plaza, a state-of-the-art multi-tenant business park in Ondangwa. The development will feature cold storage warehouses, refrigerated container yards, dry goods storage, and a commercial center with office space, all supported by a 1.5MW rooftop solar plant. The plaza aims to provide a one-stop hub for FMCG wholesalers, logistics operators, and other businesses requiring bulk inventory management, while offering sustainable energy solutions and efficient transport access to key trade routes in northern Namibia.

Trans-KalahariLogisticsCC joins EquityPilot to advance cold‑chain and logistics hub in Ondangwa

Ondangwa, Namibia & Dubai, UAE — Feb 13 2026

Northern Namibia and neighboring SADC corridors face persistent gaps in refrigerated storage, distribution and last‑mile consolidation. Seasonal highs above 30°C and long transit times to coastal ports increase spoilage and transport cost for perishable goods. The shortage of regional logistics infrastructure constrains FMCG wholesalers, traders and cross‑border shippers who currently route product long distances to major ports.

What the Startup Delivers?

Trans-Kalahari Logistics CC proposes the Nakathilo Commercial and Logistics Plaza on a 20,000 m2 site in Ondangwa. The planned N$268,271,560.83 development will include: - 1,788 m2 of cold storage with 5,364 m3 capacity (up to 4,827 pallets) for frozen and chilled goods; - 4,440 m2 of dry goods warehouse space for fulfillment and distribution; - 5,899 m2 of commercial and office suites; - 1.5 MW rooftop solar to offset facility consumption and enable surplus sales via net metering; - Bitumen access road, raised platform and full stormwater and external works.

Why Now?

Demand for regional cold‑chain capacity is rising as cross‑border trade in food and FMCG grows and traders seek alternatives to long coastal routes. Ondangwa’s strategic location at intersections of major highways and proximity to the region’s only fully operating international airport make it a logical logistics hub for Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the DRC.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Under EquityPilot, FasterCapital will work with Trans‑KalahariLogisticsCC to: - Refine execution milestones and a phased buildout plan that aligns construction, cold‑room commissioning and solar deployment; - Strengthen project financials and tenancy mix assumptions for anchor FMCG and third‑party logistics customers; - Prepare investor‑ready materials and introductions to regional operators and infrastructure investors.

Proof and Operational

Detail Trans‑KalahariLogisticsCC is led by owner Josef Penda Mundjele and has operated as a long‑distance transporter since 2009, now expanding into logistics infrastructure development. The project timeline foresees a 24‑month build window (August 2023 start, targeted completion September 2025), subject to funding.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Trans‑KalahariLogisticsCC through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Founder background

Founder Josef Penda Mundjele brings over a decade of regional transport operations and an established customer network across northern Namibia and SADC routes, positioning the project to secure anchor tenants in cold‑chain and FMCG distribution.

Next 90 Days

FasterCapital and Trans‑KalahariLogisticsCC will finalize a phased delivery schedule, complete feasibility refinements for the cold storage design and rooftop solar sizing, and begin investor outreach to secure construction financing and pre‑lease commitments.
