It substantiates the report that Amazon plans to launch online shopping operations in South Africa. This is not the first time information has emerged that Amazon has plans to launch ecommerce operations in South Africa. Amazon is reported by MyBroadband to be in discussions with courier companies and local fast-moving consumer goods companies. Amazon.com plans to launch here in February next year and is aggressively shopping for warehouse space, according to documents leaked to Business Insider. Amazon’s global profit growth slowed from a massive 44% at the beginning of last year to just 7% 12 months later, making huge sense of its expansion into Africa, South America, and Europe. Takealot, Everyshop, and Massmart (Makro, Game) will be quaking in the aisles. Its Prime membership programme will also reportedly be available to South Africans shortly after launch. E-commerce in South Africa (and then Nigeria) is about to be shaken up – with major cost benefits for weary consumers.
