There are some minds in Zim who are looking to start an online business like Amazon, where you buy items online & get them delivered. They would love your opinion on how you view online shopping, would you use it or not? Is Zim ready for such a large scale business? @begottensun

Its possible to build such a marketplace but it has to be tailored and customised to current market conditions.I wrote an article about this in my LinkedIn Newsletter(New Wave) but it was about Amazon coming to South Africa.
