The Amazon Small Business Digital Adoption Report 2026 shows that South African small businesses are increasingly facing mounting operational pressures, as delivery, fulfilment and the high costs of returns management emerge as the biggest challenges to sustaining online sales.
Report reveals that improving access to digital sales channels alone will not necessarily translate into sustainable growth for smaller retailers. Reducing the cost and complexity of delivery, fulfilment and reverse logistics will also be critical to ensuring online sales remain commercially viable, it states.

BREAKING NEWS: Chery SA has notified the NCC of the recall of more than 23 000 vehicles, most of them - 17 508 - Chery Tiggo 4s, relating to a possible rear suspension collapse.
Also being recalled are thousands of Tiggo 8 Pro Max vehicles and Omoda C5s.
Full details below.
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALLS: 23 667 CHERY TIGGO 4, OMODA C5 AND CHERY TIGGO 8 PRO MAX 2.0 VEHICLES
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) notifies consumers of a recall affecting a total of 23 667 vehicles as notified by Chery International (Pty) Ltd trading as Chery South Africa (Chery). The recall affects Chery Tiggo 4, Omoda C5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 vehicles.
CHERY TIGGO 4 - 17 508 VEHICLES
Chery informed the NCC that this recall affects 17 508 vehicles made available for sale between 17 October 2023 and 27 March 2024. These vehicles were sold nationally. According to the supplier, the affected vehicles may have welding irregularities at the rear axle sleeve. This could cause the rear axle to dislodge, resulting in rear suspension collapse.
CHERY TIGGO 8 PRO MAX 2.0 - 3 474 VEHICLES
Chery is recalling certain Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 vehicles manufactured from 20 May 2026 onwards, affecting 3 474 vehicles. According to the supplier, the front brake-pipe may contact the turbocharger assembly, causing wear and potential brake-fluid leakage. This could reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances, potentially resulting in a collision, serious injury or death.
OMODA C5 - 2 685 VEHICLES
Chery is also recalling 2 685 Omoda C5 vehicles. These vehicles were made available for sale between February 2023 and July 2026, nationally. According to the supplier, the rear axle sleeve may have welding defects. This could cause the rear axle to dislodge, resulting in rear suspension collapse.
Consumers are urged to visit their authorised dealerships for an inspection and possible repairs, visit Chery’s website to verify if the VIN member is affected or if it is unsafe to drive the affected motor vehicle contact Chery’s authorised dealerships or their contact centre to arrange towing. Any remedial work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
NCC Acting Commissioner, Mr. Hardin Ratshisusu said: “Whilst we urge consumers to heed the call and respond to this recall, we also remind suppliers of their obligation to notify any product recall promptly. To this end, the NCC initiated a separate investigation against Chery in October 2026 over allegations that certain vehicles were recalled without informing the NCC, which investigation is ongoing.”

Those behind this, I politely and respectfully so, request that it be removed. Our focus should be on rebuilding the ANC and the renewal of our movement. I’ve stated on various platforms that I’m neither available for nor willing to take on this responsibility. Our priority is also on the unity of the alliance and progressive formations.
