COSATU has resolved to campaign for a complete government ban of Shein and Temu online platforms. The unions argue that the Chinese online platforms risk jobs, competition, and the future of South Africaโs clothing industry.
According to estimates cited by COSATU, the expansion of Shein and Temu could put up to 34,000 jobs in South Africaโs clothing, textile, leather and footwear industries at risk by 2030 if no intervention is taken.
Shein and Temu have attracted millions of shoppers with low prices, extensive product ranges, and convenient app-based shopping. A report by the Localisation Support Fund estimated that the platforms generated approximately R7.3 billion in sales in South Africa.
Their growing popularity has raised concerns among local manufacturers and retailers, who argue that they are struggling to compete against international platforms.
He can go argue with: Major-General Joseph N. Garba, the Nigerian military officer and diplomat who wrote a book about the money unaccounted for.
( Some official said a snake swallowed the money at night)
