Background
The Manica name has been synonymous of shipping and transport in the Central and Southern Africa since 1849 and this proud tradition and pioneering spirit will continue under the new management team. Few organisations, if any can lay claim to a history covering the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, during which time it has developed a comprehensive network of strategically situated depots, a fleet of commercial vehicles, specialised cargo-handling equipment and state-of-the-art technology in communications systems.
The "New" Manica
Manica, Mozambique, as part of a regional initiative, has recently (November 2000) undergone major structural changes and is justly proud to announce a new and dynamic organization, which is fully prepared for the demands of the 21st century.
Mozambican Ownership

Manica Day-to-Day
Operationally Manica will remain unchanged with day-to-day business activities being the ongoing responsibility of existing management resources.
People
Successful freight management is a compendium of many disciplines. Increasingly, the freight management industry is turning to technology to meet its needs and those of its clients, but people remain at the heart of the business.
