About Us
Igeja is a Nguni word which means hoe. A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural and horticultural hand tool used to shape soil, remove weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops. Shaping the soil includes piling soil around the base of plants, digging narrow furrows, and shallow trenches for planting seeds or bulbs. Weeding with a hoe includes agitating the surface of the soil or cutting foliage from roots and clearing soil of old roots and crop residues. Hoes for digging and moving soil are used to harvest root crops.
At Mageja Customs Consulting, we want to become our clients’ trusted tools to properly shape their compliance with Customs to acceptable levels. This will help to facilitate trade through the customs process.
We shall remove any noncompliance “weeds” and clear any obstacles that prohibit maximum compliance. Through our intensified and targeted interventions, we shall ensure that our clients harvest the fruits of compliance
