Zimbabwe’s first online shopping experience! http://www.zimazon.co.zw – Sign up today… its FREE!!

Zimazon.co.zw is an online shopping website setup by local ICT solutions company, Ministro Zimbabwe helping shoppers buy just about anything on Amazon. The shopping site was built using open source technologies, notably the OpenCart open sourse shopping cart system.

Zimazon has a typical internet merchant system providing a catalog of products which, when a customer clicks to buy are ordered on the customer’s behalf from global suppliers. The goods are ordered from outside Zimbabwe and shipped once a customer confirms the order. The goods are delivered to a customers door step in Harare in 7 to 14 days.

On the big question of how Zimazon processes payments, Bruce Grobler, Ministro’s Technical Manager says it’s cash and bank transfers for now: “Zimazon is supposed to be as easy as going to your local store and buying a laptop, even more so as your aren’t driving there!, Cash on delivery is brilliant, I believe people still don’t quite trust online services especially when it has the potential to hurt their pocket, one of us had to take a leap, so we did”
