The nominations are now officially open and everyone is invited to nominate their favourite online stores for the 2007 South African E-Commerce Awards.

>>> GO HERE TO NOMINATE <<<  

Last year Amazon.com did $10 billion in turnover. That’s about what Pick ‘n Pay and Shoprite did combined. Internationally e-commerce is huge. In South Africa we’ve barely left the starting blocks.

Are you interested in joining a small, dynamic team of pioneers in Cape Town who are at the forefront of the struggle to make e-commerce work in South Africa? We are on a journey to overcome the obstacles of fraud, logistics delays, packaging shortages and poor customer service. We are working on our own e-commerce sites (Yuppiechef.co.za, FlagKit.co.za, Bugzapper.co.za), consulting with other companies, publishing a book and making a movie. You will be exposed to it all, but will require specific skills in customer service.

[Update: This position was recently filled. We will publish new positions as they come available.]

The folks at iafrica.com wrote an article about Yuppiechef. Thanks guys.
