Nah it's just the rest of us getting older, so even 30 year olds start to look like school kids to us.

Well it takes them 4 days to get an in stock item to a pickup point in the same province so shouldn't be very hard for Amazon...

From an analyst to Takealot.com CEO in 6 years, and group CEO 2 years later, pretty impressive.

Remember when you were young and had a crush on a "sophisticated" 20 year old - and now when you look at a 20 year old you see a child? Damn even a 35 year old looks like a youngster.
God I am too old.
