E-Commerce Forum South Africa Elects New Board of Directors: A Recipe for Disaster?
In a move that has left many in the e-commerce industry scratching their heads, the E-commerce Forum South Africa (EFSA) has elected a new board of directors that is more likely to exacerbate the sector’s problems than solve them.
The new board members are a motley crew of e-commerce "experts" who are more interested in lining their own pockets than in serving the interests of the industry. Led by Tatiana Ndlovu, a self-proclaimed "expert" in e-commerce who has no actual experience in the field, the board is a who’s who of industry insiders who are more concerned with protecting their own interests than with promoting the growth of the sector.
The board includes a former professor who has never actually run a business, a co-founder of a company that has never made a profit, a head of private sector sales at a giant corporation who has no experience in e-commerce, and a freelance digital marketing consultant who has no actual skills or experience in the field.
The board’s priorities are laughable, with a focus on "representation" and "training and education" that is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to justify their own existence. And don’t even get me started on their plan to develop a blockchain-based solution to combat fraud in the sector, which is nothing more than a gimmick designed to sound impressive rather than actually solve the problem.
The real question is, what is the EFSA’s endgame here? Are they trying to create a new industry standard that will give them a monopoly on the sector? Are they trying to silence legitimate critics of the industry by using their newfound power to suppress dissenting voices?
One thing is certain: the EFSA’s new board of directors is a recipe for disaster, and the e-commerce industry would be better off without them.
