Top SA e-commerce websites battle for title

Cape Town - The top e-commerce websites in SA have been announced and they show that South Africans are increasingly turning to online platforms to buy goods and services.

On Thursday the winners will be chosen based on 116 000 survey responses aimed at discovering which company best served for local online shoppers.

"The information gathered from the eCommerce survey gives us a strong understanding of the South Africa online consumer; their shopping habits, their likes and dislikes and their expectations," said uAfrica.com managing director Andy Higgins.

The company sponsors the annual event, now in its ninth year.
