JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - Media OutReach - 9 November 2018 - African retailers are facing a rapid evolution of technology and online players like Take-A-Lot in South Africa, Konga in Nigeria and Jumia Kenya have entered the market, which has created huge competition for brick-and-mortar incumbents.
