Dasheka is now an Exports Controller for one of the most dominating transport companies in Johannesburg called Marine Transport Services.When asked why she changed occupations she said that she felt the need for growth both professionally and financially. “There was no growth where I was and I needed new challenges in different aspects including money because as you grow you have more responsibilities.” This change has also improved her mental state as she is no longer narrow minded and is now flexible and open to new ideas.
As an exports controller, Dasheka follows up with clients once she receives containers that carry the goods they transport to the Johannesburg depot and gets vessel/ship details from the client. She makes sure that the containers are moved from Johannesburg to the Durban terminal and are stacked into a vessel within the time given.
She must also make sure that the drivers are at the correct terminals and that the container locks correspond and if the container is stacked under the correct bookings. When all that is cleared, the containers move to the other side of the world. Sometimes one vessel/ship she has to stack has about 70 containers, she must check every single container that is stacked and she doesn’t deal with just one vessel a day. This is what makes her job challenging.l a day. This is what makes her job challenging.
