He forged his career at the crossroads of digital technology and logistics, making his mark in a traditionally-minded industry by championing technology.

Khathutshelo Mufamadi, a South African entrepreneur, has built his career at the intersection of technology and logistics, distinguishing himself in a sector often dominated by traditional players.

He earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2008. He began his professional journey as a Java developer at prominent financial institutions, including Rand Merchant Bank and Standard Bank. However, he ultimately found his true calling in entrepreneurship.

In 2015, Mufamadi founded Droppa, a tech startup specializing in logistics services. The company's mission is to simplify and optimize deliveries across South Africa through efficient and accessible digital tools. Its namesake platform enables both businesses and individuals to book deliveries, track parcels in real-time, and make secure, transparent payments.

"Our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction sets us apart," the startup stated. "By integrating leading logistics service providers and using advanced tracking systems, we deliver reliable and punctual services tailored to the unique needs of businesses and individuals."

Droppa offers a comprehensive suite of services, ranging from express document delivery and shipping of small or large parcels to full-scale moves. The company handles authorized goods weighing up to 30 kilograms and provides shipping to over 150 countries. Additionally, Droppa features a locker delivery service, allowing customers to drop off or pick up packages independently at any time.
