I discussed e-commerce in South Africa on the The Best Mornings on Metro FM this week. It’s growing at a rapid rate in South Africa with Amazon having launched in the country recently. Checkers Sixty60 is launching trucks so they can deliver appliances as well and move beyond food. UBER Eats has ads to share that they no longer just deliver food. Prior to Covid, there was very little uptake of e-commerce in South Africa. Sixty60’s success was because Checkers launched it at the end of 2019 and the country was going to have a lockdown in the first quarter of 2020. They couldn’t have planned it that way, but it worked in their favour. Rival supermarket chain, Pick n Pay, then bought alcohol delivery app, Bottles and rebranded it into Pick n Pay ASAP. Recently, the local textile industry complained about Chinese e-commerce sites like Shein and Temu that have also made their goods available in South Africa as they too see the growth of the e-commerce industry in the country. The local textile industry say Chinese fast fashion sites will negatively impact South African brands and the local market.
