Our Story

Built from the ground up.
Grounded in purpose.

Vacopi Logistics is the trading name of Vurheni Business Group (Pty) Ltd — a privately held coal logistics operator established in 2021. We move bulk coal from Mpumalanga mines to Eskom power stations including Kriel, Arnot, Kendal, and Emalahleni, running a dedicated fleet of 34-ton horse-and-trailer side-tippers.

The company was founded by Vongani Boreni, a procurement and contracts professional with over 15 years of public sector experience. He built Vacopi from a single truck purchased with his own savings — today, the fleet supports more than 20 livelihoods and a growing network of investors, operators, and communities.

"Making a meaningful difference in other people's lives is not just what we do — it is why we exist."

What We Do

Reliable bulk haulage.
Every load. Every route.

We operate exclusively with private sector partners, transporting high-value bulk commodities where delivery accuracy and cargo integrity are non-negotiable.

Coal Logistics

We specialise in transporting coal from Mpumalanga mining operations to Eskom generation stations. Our side-tipper fleet is purpose-built for this route — reliable, efficient, and operated by experienced drivers who know every kilometre.

Bulk Commodities

Beyond coal, our fleet is configured for chrome, platinum ore, grain, and maize logistics. We work exclusively with private companies and mine operators, providing dedicated haul capacity with a fleet tracked and managed in-house.

Fleet Management

Breakdowns cost everyone. Our fleet is maintained proactively, with a dedicated operations team managing scheduling, compliance, and driver welfare. Your cargo moves — on time, to the right destination, intact.

The Fleet

Seven trucks. One standard.

White, branded, and maintained. Our fleet carries the Vurheni Business Group identity on every road from Mpumalanga to the power stations.

Operational Capabilities

More than a side-tipper.

Vacopi's operational footprint covers Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Limpopo, and North West Province — with specialised configurations for liquid bulk haulage and a dedicated on-road support team keeping the fleet moving.

Tanker Operations

Alongside the side-tipper fleet, Vacopi operates a dedicated road tanker configuration for diesel and liquid bulk haulage. The MAN TGS 26.440 coupled to a stainless-steel tanker is purpose-built for fuel-grade cargo — maintained and operated to the same standard as every vehicle in the VBG fleet.

On-Road Maintenance

Downtime is not an option. VBG 002 — our dedicated support vehicle — deploys across all active routes to keep the fleet operational between runs. From Mpumalanga to North West Province, the Vacopi maintenance team ensures no driver is stranded and no haul is delayed.

Our Values

The principles that keep us moving.

In bulk logistics, reputation is built one delivery at a time. These are the commitments that govern how Vacopi operates — with partners, drivers, clients, and the communities around us.

  • 01

    Cargo Integrity

    We deliver what we load. Expensive material goes to the right destination, in full, verified every trip. No substitutions, no short-drops.

  • 02

    Mechanical Readiness

    Breakdowns are a logistics failure, not an excuse. We invest in preventative maintenance so our trucks are ready before yours need to move.

  • 03

    People First

    Our 20+ drivers and operators are not contractors — they are the business. Safe working conditions, fair treatment, and real employment are standard practice.

  • 04

    Private Sector Focus

    We operate exclusively with private companies. No CSD dependency, no tender cycles — just direct relationships built on performance and trust.

  • 05

    Accountability

    If something goes wrong, we answer for it. Transparent communication and direct ownership of every load, every route, every outcome.

Beyond the Freight

The business that gives back.

Vacopi is more than a logistics operation. Founder Vongani Boreni grew up in Maphophe Village in Collins Chabane Municipality, Limpopo — and has not forgotten where he came from.

In 2024 he established the Dzudzani Development Trust Fund, a community initiative providing clean water infrastructure, support for families in bereavement, land for employment creation, and bursaries for matriculants. The business is the engine. The community is the purpose.
