New CEO Announcement
Kwazi Mabaso
We are excited to welcome Kwazi Mabaso as the new Chief Executive Officer of Grindrod Limited, effective 1 December 2025.
This follows our June announcement advising shareholders of the resignation of our outgoing CEO, Xolani Mbambo.
Kwazi steps into this role following his successful tenure as CEO of Grindrod Terminals, where he has been instrumental in shaping and executing some of the Group’s most strategic initiatives.
With a strong track record in cross-border leadership, stakeholder management, and large-scale project delivery, Kwazi brings both a global perspective and deep experience within African markets. This unique combination has seen him play a central role in driving Grindrod’s strategy, transformation, and growth, including the significant mergers and acquisitions concluded this year.
As we thank Xolani Mbambo for his leadership and contributions, we look forward to the next chapter under Kwazi’s guidance, one focused on unlocking opportunities, building partnerships, and creating lasting value.
Please join us in congratulating Kwazi on this appointment!

Grindrod’s Matola Terminal records highest monthly throughput
In May 2025, our Matola terminal achieved a historic milestone, loading over 1075 638 tonnes, the highest monthly throughput on record. This remarkable performance is even more encouraging considering the operational disruptions we faced late last year, including the temporary suspension of rail operations and port activity due to the closure of the Lebombo Border.
We are pleased to report that operations in Maputo and Matola have returned to normal, and we have seen substantial recovery.
Grindrod concludes the acquisition of the remaining 35% interest in Matola
In the first half of 2025, Grindrod concluded the R1.4 billion acquisition of the remaining 35% interest in the Matola terminal. Full ownership provides more flexibility in operating and growing this strategic asset. For more information read the original press release.
