Takealot says they will be available during the lockdown period to supply South Africans with essential goods they have on offer.
In a statement sent out to Takealot clients, the company says the current regulations limit them to providing only essential goods at this time.
The Company says they have engaged with the government to expand the mandate as the worldwide picture is quite different where e-commerce companies have largely been allowed to operate as usual.
It says people’s needs during the shutdown will go beyond essential goods.

All non-essential orders that have been placed, but not yet shipped from warehouses will, unfortunately, have to be cancelled.
