Pandemic jump-starts Zimbabwe online retail sales
Kenneth Mudzingwa has worked and studied in Turkey for five-and-a-half years. To help his two siblings back home with groceries, the Zimbabwean citizen used a money transfer service that sometimes took days.
But since last June, he has ordered toiletries, cooking oil, maize meal, milk, sugar and other basics via a supermarket website. The items usually arrive in 24 hours.
“My siblings just send me a list of what they want and I complete the transaction from here, and they get notified of the order instantly for collection or delivery,” Mudzingwa said.
“It’s a good start, and I hope online shopping improves in all retail outlets back home.”
