Bollore Logisitic is locate at the cargo area at Yaounde Airport.Easy to find and Jacques is nice but prepare to wait little bit, it's Africa time.Suppose to be a 2 days transit to South Africa.

By the safety book rule (they show me the book)  you can ship the bike with 1/4 tank gas, oil and battery connected. so be prepare to argue to keep it like that.

Comments: 

It took me 1 day to process all the paper at Yaounde because it's Africa time so 1 day to drop the bike then keep tracking of the bike because make a stop in Addis-Abeba, Ethiopia so had to call the airline to force them to put the bike on the plane so 1 day delay. At custom in Johannesburg i was force to take an agent (80$ US) to get a free release. At cargo bay a 30$ US for unloading the bike. The bike was intact so no damage except the sticker hard to remove.
