Takealot and Samsung cough up R10 million after Springboks win World Cup

Takealot and Samsung will pay over 800 shoppers roughly R10 million in refunds after the Springboks won the 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC).

Takealot’s BackTheBucks campaign promised buyers of five specific Samsung TV models a full refund if the Boks successfully defended their title as world champions in France.

And that's another reason why they are not profitable.

Takealot are not out the full refund value. I would also assume Samsung have underwritten a portion or all of the promotion, or it was insured by Takealot.

Yeah, I'm sure Samsung is footing the bulk of the bill.
