NATURAL HARVEST DIVISION
Building on a legacy of excellence established in 1982, the newly unified Natural Harvest Division serves as the definitive gateway for CPG distribution across Southern Africa. By merging the extensive infrastructure of the original Springbok Food & Pharmacy and Natural Harvest units, this cornerstone division now operates through a powerful network of ten strategic distribution hubs.
This integration creates a comprehensive, multi-temperature supply chain capable of managing an expansive catalogue of over 19,000 SKUs—spanning ambient, chilled, frozen, beverage, and health & beauty categories. With a specialized focus on the "better-for-you" and organic segments, the division provides a seamless end-to-end solution reaching more than 11,000 retail touchpoints, from major supermarket chains and pharmacies to niche specialized health outlets.
SPRINGBOK PREMIER PHARMACY DIVISION
A franchised group of 57 independently owned pharmacies nationwide, offering health, beauty, and wellness products in a modern retail environment.
​
The stores offer health/beauty care, dietary and pharmaceutical products on a ‘one-stop-shop’ basis. Originally modelled after the Boots UK open-store concept, each location offers some 600 square meters of shopping space, backed by extended trading hours, a range of specialized goods and cosmetics, and a variety of imported products.
​
Pharmacy's provide great opportunities for emerging products given the variety that can be stocked on pharmacists' shelves, from food stuffs to creams, shampoos and household cleaning products.
TRADE-LINK AFRICA DIVISION
TRADE LINK AFRICA evolved because of a robust demand from countries north of South Africa's borders, namely those in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
​​Our export-focused division services SADC markets including Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya — forming a critical component of our 2026 –2030 growth strategy for a number of our brands.
