At just 32, Sachin Soobben is proving that age is no barrier when it comes to building something big in South Africa’s logistics scene.
Quietly but confidently, this Durban-born entrepreneur is putting together a powerful network of transport-related businesses that serve the industry from every angle – freight, fleet, driver support, security, and even hospitality.
His flagship company, Prospecton Transport, is a key player in Durban’s bustling logistics corridor.
Focused on the movement of freight, it’s not just about transporting goods for Soobben — it’s about keeping the wheels of trade turning efficiently.
He’s also heavily involved in the buying and selling of trucks and commercial vehicles, supplying much-needed equipment to operators looking to expand or upgrade their fleets.

It’s these kinds of moves that show he’s not just running a company – he’s helping grow the entire industry.
What sets Soobben apart, though, is his ability to identify gaps in the market and fill them with smart, practical solutions.
Nowhere is that more obvious than at Prospecton Truck Stop, located south of Durban in the precinct of the bustling Prospecton Industrial area.
It’s more than just a safe place to park—it’s got a canteen, a truck wash, top-tier security, and facilities that every long-distance driver wishes they could find more often.
In an industry where trucker wellbeing is too often overlooked, Soobben has made it a priority.
Security is another area where he’s making serious moves.
With the rise in cargo theft and hijackings, logistics companies are under pressure to protect their loads.
Through Prospecton Security, Soobben offers armed guarding and risk management tailored for the transport sector, giving fleet owners peace of mind during high-risk trips.

What’s interesting is how far his vision stretches beyond transport alone.
He owns Prospecton Lodge and Prospecton Residences, providing accommodation for industry workers.
He also runs Spill Care, an environmental cleanup company specialising in the safe removal of hazardous spills – ensuring that his operations align with safety and environmental standards.
And then there’s Cappello Umhlanga, his venture into the hospitality scene, catering to Durban’s more upmarket crowd.
What Sachin Soobben is building is not just a transport empire – it’s an ecosystem.
He’s connecting services that keep trucks moving, freight protected, drivers cared for, and clients satisfied.
And the best part? He’s only just getting started. At 32, with his energy, ambition, and understanding of what the industry truly needs, it’s clear he’s steering toward something far bigger than just business.
He’s shaping the future of logistics in Durban, one smart move at a time.
