Meet the Team
Bongi keeps Buy Diesel Direct running like clockwork. With over 13 years of experience spanning investigative newsrooms and marketing consultancies, she swapped reporting the facts for running the logistics. As COO, she oversees our day-to-day operations across South Africa, turning complex fuel supply chains into a smooth, dependable service our clients can count on.
An entrepreneur at heart, Bongi knows how to take a big-picture plan and make it work on the ground. When she isn’t fine-tuning our supply routes and keeping suppliers on their toes, you’ll likely find her on the tennis court or deep in a good book.
Njongo is the commercial engine behind Buy Diesel Direct. With over 15 years spent building global FMCG brands, he swapped consumer goods for bulk energy to solve a different kind of market challenge: unlocking reliable, cost-effective fuel supply for South African businesses.
As CCO, he drives our commercial partnerships, pricing models, and market expansion—pairing strict financial discipline with sharp commercial instinct. He ensures our clients do not just buy diesel, but secure a dependable energy partner that protects their bottom line. Away from commercial negotiations and deal structuring, Njongo spends his time with family and follows motorsport, drawn to the exact blend of high pressure and split-second precision he brings to business.
Juan-Dre brings 13 years of frontline fuel industry experience to Buy Diesel Direct. Having spent over a decade navigating South Africa’s diesel market, he knows the pain points of volatile pricing and unreliable supply better than anyone.
He co-founded Buy Diesel Direct to solve that exact problem: cutting out the friction between fuel depots and the businesses that rely on them. Juan-Dre leads our client relationships and sales strategy, dedicated to getting customers competitive rates and dependable bulk deliveries without the runaround. When he steps away from client calls, he channels his energy into music and is an avid animal lover.
From search engines to fuel bowsers, Daniel brings 15 years of digital marketing and agency experience to the logistics world. After years of running businesses online, he spotted a glaring real-world problem: ordering diesel in South Africa was unnecessarily complicated and full of markups.
Buy Diesel Direct was his answer, built to make ordering bulk fuel as seamless as ordering a takeaway. Today, he steers our digital systems and delivery logistics, making sure South African businesses get reliable fuel without the red tape or drama. When he isn’t buried in supply route analytics at his Centurion base, Daniel is usually on the golf course, racing remote-control cars, or pottering in the garden.
