    Thx, so it doesn't work with screenshots of the QR code or have a QR code 'share' function like the other apps? It's a bit inconvenient if it only works face to face.

    Former SABC board member warns against DA plan to sell public broadcaster

    Perhaps a public private joint venture as a middle ground compromise for both sides, government can invest and become a shareholder of a private broadcaster, but not a majority shareholder, then government get some say within the broadcaster and the broadcaster don't get run to the ground like SABC.

    Anyone know if any institutions are introducing something like alipay or wechat pay where you can make payment via the recipient's QR code? I suppose there would be quite a few people that finds themselves in this scenario as the maid daily, and such app or payment method would eliminate such...

    For3x Breakout Kings (FBK) Legitimacy

    on the bright side, the adam family were smart enough to split the 500k risk by 1000, so 500 bucks each was not an expensive lesson. if multiple of jerome's client invested this way, it is scary to think how many people jerome pissed off with fbk.

    Takealot.com has started making profit - CEO

    Never used Superbalist tbh, so ye, no idea how much they spent on the initial infrastructure. Hmm my thinking is that if they are like taobao that have their own warehouse, logistic systems, all these package sorting robots, and then data analytics etc, then R10mil probably won't cut it, but...

    The concept of a car is nothing new, but I think you would also agree that lots of innovations goes into the new models we see every few years. Similarly, I agree with you that the idea of direct to consumer is nothing new, but temu's sourcing networks, large volume logistic networks within...

    Couriers raise concerns about cracking down on tax "loophole" Temu and Shein use

    The tax loophole is not the innovation I am talking about. I think their innovation is actually the combination of their sourcing network, e-commerce platform and international logistical network that cuts out multiple middleman. I suspect even with the additional tax, a lot of items on temu...

    Sigh, all these a-hole organizations bands together to fight off a good thing for local citizens because they don't want to spend money or deal with the risk to adapt and compete, and our government decides to step in and help... brick & mortar stores > e-commerce > globalized e-commerce, feels...

    Takealot says e-commerce sector needs improved protection from international businesses

    Products made in china, local drop shippers imports from a distributor or a shop in china, then the product is placed on takealot who also charges a platform fee. Whereas a lot of products on Temu come from the manufacturing factories themselves, so of course takealot can't compete against such...
