Takealot CEO Drops Nuclear Bombshell: Future of Trade and Industry Depends on Tech Whisperer
As President Cyril Ramaphosa prepares to unleash his new cabinet, Takealot Group CEO Frederik Zietsman is sparking outrage by suggesting that the incoming Trade, Industry & Competition minister must be a hardcore tech addict with a fetish for innovative disruption. Yeah, you read that right.
Zietsman’s explosive rant came after incumbent minister Ebrahim Patel threw in the towel, stating he’d rather not renew his tenure following the May elections. We can’t blame him. The ministry is now a hot potato, and anyone willing to take it must be a total tech fanatic to survive in this post-apocalyptic world.
Takealot’s big cheese poured cold water on all the naivety in the room: "I’d hope this minister is like a tech mogul, ready to shake off the shackles of yesteryear thinking. They gotta be ahead of the curve, buddy!"
To emphasize his demands, Zietsman even summoned the ghost of Mark Zuckerberg, whispering in an undertone that the minister’s very existence is intertwined with understanding AI and, more scarily, digital governance.
His chief of external affairs and public policy, Tshepo Marumule, got equally fired up, suggesting Takealot can serve as the Midas touch revitalizing our forgotten manufacturing base and injecting blood into township economies like a dose of morphine into a war wound.
