For investors and entrepreneurs looking to boost their operations or diversify their portfolios, the upcoming auctions present two distinct opportunities for strategic asset acquisition. From heavy-duty logistics to high-end lifestyle assets, these sales offer a transparent mechanism for securing value.

  1. Fleet disposal

Date: Feb 20, 2026

Venue: Mnyokane

Acting on instruction, Rexy’s Investments (Pty) Ltd will auction a formidable commercial fleet at Mnyokane. This sale is a primary target for the logistics and construction sectors. It is positioned as a strategic gateway for local entrepreneurs to expand their industrial footprint without the prohibitive capital outlay required for brand-new machinery. The auction features a formidable line-up of heavy-duty commercial vehicles suited for large-scale operations. Notable entries in the ‘runner’ category include:

Logistics titans: High-capacity Mercedes-Benz 2646 and MAN 440 TGS trucks.

Infrastructure support: Essential side-tippers and trailers designed for rugged construction requirements.

Earthmoving & plant: A 2008 Komatsu Grader GD655, a Powerstar 2628 VX water cart (16 000L) and a 2013 FAW concrete ready-mix truck.

Tactical investment strategy

Industry experts suggest that these bank-held assets offer a compelling Return on Investment (ROI) for seasoned fleet managers. Shrewd bidders are also encouraged to eye the ‘non-runner’ lots, such as the Dezzie H120T and John Deere 6205 tractors. For those with the mechanical infrastructure to refurbish, these lots represent a high-value opportunity to acquire premium brands at a fraction of market cost.

Entry and compliance

Registration: A refundable deposit of E10 000 cash is required to participate.

Viewing: Prospective buyers can inspect the fleet on Thursday, February 19, 2026, from 11am to 3pm.

Contact: +268 7603 3360/7903 3360.

  1. Executive Essentials: Whiskey & office furniture

Date: February 25, 2026

Venue: Matsapha, Plot 213 (opposite CONGO).

Shifting from industrial to corporate and lifestyle sectors, Konkhe Auctioneers offers a unique blend of office infrastructure and high-end collectibles.

Liquidator instructions have cleared the way for a unique auction of premium whiskey, gin and office infrastructure.

The inventory: An impressive collection of spirits including Johnnie Walker Blue & Red, Glenfiddich Special Reserve 30 Years, and Gordon’s Gin.

Corporate assets: Essential office technology and infrastructure are also up for bid, including IBM Systems, Lenovo H420 PCs, monitors, and currency counting machines.

Compliance liquor registration: E200 000 EFT (Refundable).

Office equipment registration: E2 000 (Refundable).

Terms: A 2.5 per cent buyer’s premium applies; payment is strictly via EFT with no cash accepted on-site

Contact: +26876298233/ 76984146.

Checklist for auction day

Arrive early: Use viewing days to physically inspect assets and avoid ‘hidden defects’.

Set your ceiling: Determine your reserve price beforehand to avoid emotional bidding in the heat of the moment.

Budget for extras: Ensure you have accounted for any buyer’s premiums or taxes to keep your final margins healthy.

Whether you are scaling a logistics empire or outfitting a new headquarters, February’s auction landscape is where the prepared investor finds their edge.
