Zando’s group holding company, Jumia has become the first African technology company to list on the New York Stock Exchange. As this is a significant milestone, we want to take this opportunity to explain what this achievement means for Zando, Jumia as well as our vendors and our loyal consumers.

“The IPO of our group holding Jumia is an important milestone for us at Zando and e-commerce in (South) Africa. While we have seen tremendous growth over the past 7 years already, we want to use the IPO to create momentum to promote the benefits of e-commerce for our consumers and vendors. Shopping online at Zando means convenient and risk-free shopping, best prices guaranteed, more than 800 brands and shopping 24/7 wherever you are. More than 88% of our consumers would recommend Zando to their family and friends, and yet, we have only seen 0.5m South Africans shopping on our website. The potential here is huge and the best is yet to come!” said Zando’s CEO Sascha Breuss.
