Personal shopper program.

Delivering happiness means creating opportunities for everyone to thrive.

Through our Personal Shopper Programme, we train individuals in townships and historically disadvantaged communities to become trusted shopping guides who help customers navigate Takealot and place orders on their behalf, earning commission for every sale they support.

It’s a flexible, accessible way to earn while helping more people shop online and participate in the digital economy.

Because when we say “Happy Delivered,” we mean happiness for our customers and the communities that serve them.

What It Means to Deliver Happiness:

Purpose beyond paychecks.

Every line of code you write, every customer call you take, every delivery route you optimize doesn’t just move products – it brings joy to a family receiving exactly what they need, when they need it.

Innovation that inspires.

We’re not just building technology; we’re creating moments of delight. Your boldest ideas become solutions that turn everyday shopping into experiences that make South Africans smile.

Growth that gives back.

As you develop and advance, you become better at creating happiness for others. Your personal journey directly enhances your ability to deliver meaningful experiences to millions of customers.

Ubuntu in action.

The happiness we create for customers starts with the happiness we create for each other. Through support, collaboration, and celebrating wins together, we build the foundation for delivering genuine joy to every doorstep.

Happiness you can see.

Watch a single mom in KwaMashu light up when her kids’ school supplies arrive safely, see a small business owner in Soweto celebrate their first big sale – this is the happiness your work delivers, every single day.

Join the Team Changing South Africa’s Future.
