Takealot Group CEO, Frederik Zietsman, recently shared insights on how the Takealot Personal Shopper Programme is reshaping e-commerce accessibility across South Africa. What began as an initiative to bring online shopping convenience to underserved communities has grown into a thriving network of entrepreneurs. This programme doesn't just expand our reach - it creates vital income opportunities while helping more South Africans shop online with confidence. As we continue to scale, it is proof that innovation and entrepreneurship can work hand-in-hand to unlock economic opportunity and drive digital inclusion. 👉 Read Frederik's full interview on News24 to learn more about the impact of the Personal Shopper Programme: https://lnkd.in/dpTAMRzp

Legends aren't born. They're recognised - by the next generation. The most powerful moment in any legacy? When the next wave of talent looks at you and says: "You passed the test." Lucas Radebe and Dedrick Shoots have seen it all on the pitch. But nothing prepared them for this. Being coached. Being challenged. Being judged - by the very kids who dream of wearing their boots. And you know what? The kids have hope. Real, unshakeable hope - in the future of our sport, in each other, and in what South Africa can become on the world stage. That feeling? That runs deeper than any scoreline. 🎥 Diski Legends | Episode 3 is live. #DiskiLegends #BafanaBafana #SouthAfricanFootball #FootballLegends #NextGen

A milestone worth celebrating. 🇿🇦 This year marks an important chapter in our journey as the Takealot Group reached profitability across all three businesses. Behind every order is a team that shows up, innovates, solves problems and keeps delivering, together with the thousands of sellers, brands, driver partners and personal shoppers who make our ecosystem what it is. We're incredibly proud of what we've built over the past 15 years, and even more excited about what's still to come. Watch our Group CEO's recap of this milestone and the year that made it possible. 💙 #Takealot #HappyDelivered

What makes a legend? For Lucas Radebe, it’s the responsibility you carry and the way you lift others. For Dedrick Shoots, it’s about consistency and putting in the work daily, especially when the path gets hard. 🇿🇦 In Episode 2 of The Year of Legends, Lucas and Dedrick Shoots explore leadership, influence and pride beyond the pitch. The conversation centres on consistency, accountability and a belief in the team that reflects broader values we should bring into work and community.

Fifteen years of doing corporate differently. In the beginning, the entire Takealot team could be counted in one small room; small tables, close quarters, and a “little family” energy that set the tone for everything that followed. Hear how one employee arrived on their very first day dressed in full formal winter attire, only to be greeted by a manager in flip-flops and short sleeves 😄. It was instant, an unspoken promise: this is the place where you can be yourself. From those humble beginnings, Takealot has grown into a company that continues to invest deeply in its people - offering opportunities to study further, move across departments, develop skills, and build lasting friendships and connections. The culture started small - the impact didn’t. This is the story behind our people.

When Frederik Zietsman joined Takealot, there was no grand setup waiting for him - in fact, he didn’t even have a laptop! Just a leadership team with a refreshingly bold mentality: You’re smart. Now go figure it out 😄.  That self-starter ethos set the tone for everything that followed. As today’s Group CEO, Fred reflects on a company built by some of the smartest, most passionate, and most creative people he has ever had the privilege of working alongside - a team that has always understood how to sprint and run the marathon at the same time. His vision for what comes next is clear: for takealot.com to become woven into the very fabric of South African society - not just as a retailer, but as a living, breathing part of the economy for marketplace sellers, influencers, retail brands, and everyday people across the country. “E-commerce went from a pipe-dream to a lifestyle. And we believed in South Africa the whole time.”  Here’s to 15 years of building something extraordinary - and to the next chapter that’s only just beginning 🇿🇦 This is the story behind our people.
