Working as an air freight forwarder in Cape Town – does it make sense?

I’ve recently been looking into different career paths abroad and South Africa — especially Cape Town — caught my attention. One area that seems interesting to me is air freight forwarding/logistics, but it’s surprisingly difficult to find reliable information online about the actual market conditions there.

I’m mainly curious about:

  • what kind of salaries people in air freight/logistics realistically earn,
  • whether the industry is growing,
  • if there are good opportunities in international forwarding companies,

Most salary websites show completely different numbers, so I’d really appreciate opinions from people who actually know the industry locally.
