A Legacy Built on

From a bold vision in 1999 to a diversified global conglomerate spanning nine industries and 32+ countries — this is the story of CJ Global Express Group Unlimited.

Who We Are

More Than a
Business

CJ Global Express Group Unlimited is a diversified multinational conglomerate headquartered in Durban, South Africa, with offices in Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Founded in 1999 by Prof. Sir Clemence Jaricha, CGEG has grown from a single entity into a nine-division powerhouse — spanning construction, mining, logistics, properties, retail, hospitality, wellness, and premium spirits.

Our mandate has never changed: to drive economic transformation across Africa and the world, to create meaningful employment, and to build infrastructure that outlasts any single generation.

The Founder

Prof. Sir Clemence
Jaricha

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Born in Zimbabwe, Prof. Sir Clemence Jaricha is a visionary entrepreneur, global business leader, and advocate for African economic empowerment. His journey from a young Zimbabwean with a dream to the founder of a pan-African conglomerate is a testament to the power of vision, perseverance, and integrity.

In 1999, he founded CJ Global Express Group Unlimited with a clear mandate: to build a diversified business that would not only generate commercial value but drive meaningful transformation across the African continent. Under his leadership, CGEG has expanded to 32+ countries and grown from a single division to nine distinct business pillars.

Prof. Sir Jaricha's philosophy centres on the belief that business is one of the most powerful tools for societal upliftment — and that African entrepreneurs must build at global scale. His landmark return to Zimbabwe through the Sandton Hydon Park Mall project, after nearly 17 years, stands as a symbol of that conviction.

"Our ambition is not merely to build businesses — it is to build the future of a continent. Every project, every division, every partnership is a brick in that foundation. We do not build for today. We build for the generations that will inherit what we leave behind."
Prof. Sir Clemence Jaricha — Founder & CEO, CJ Global Express Group Unlimited
