United Transport is a renowned name in many parts of the world today. The Silver Jubilee of the Group in South Africa - 25 years during which one of the Republic's most coherent network: road passenger and freight transp services has been created - is celeu.a.ed in Our World on Wheels: The History of United Transport in South Africa, 1962-87. United Transport was unusual in that it approached South Africa from the north, having been established in East and Central Africa since 1948. The narrative of the book covers an even longer period than the 25 years of United Transport's presence in the country and, wherever possible, traces the origins of the many businesses which have been absorbed into the Group in the course of its growth. In addition, a fascinating insight is provided into the metamorphosis of road transport in South Africa from the era of mule and horse power to that of modern diesel propulsion.
