South Africa: Retailers ditch vendor lock-in for flexibility in a booming market
In 2025, South Africa's retail sector recorded a 4.2% year-on-year growth, while the e-commerce market is projected to hit R225bn — marking a remarkable 150% surge over the past five years. Omnichannel strategies, powered by personalisation, customer data analytics, AI-driven recommendations, and automated inventory and storage systems, are enabling retailers to strengthen both market share and customer loyalty in an intensely competitive landscape. Yet, while technology continues to propel progress, it also brings its own set of challenges. At first, a centralised solution from a single vendor seems like the obvious choice. It simplifies procurement, streamlines operations and offers one point of accountability. However, many retailers have discovered that while it's easy to commit to a solution, it's far more difficult and expensive to walk away from one, especially if it's not meeting their evolving needs. Whether it's the inability to exit contracts without significant costs, the challenge of re-skilling teams or the sheer risk to continuity, the long tail of vendor lock-in is real. Over-reliance is easy Vendor lock-in doesn't happen immediately; it creeps in over time. You sign the contract, restructure the team, move key services to the vendor and standardise around their platforms. Slowly and silently, your business becomes dependent. And it's a very easy trap to fall into – even large, national retailers with extensive store footprints get stuck, their core systems built around highly customised, single-vendor solutions with little documentation and no internal expertise. The problem is when they need to pivot – something that is increasingly important for modern retailers to remain competitive and relevant – they're stuck. Responding to consumer behaviour or a crisis is slow or impossible with Internal IT teams becoming bottlenecks. Agility stalls. The cost of inaction rises. While this is not an unusual situation, it is an expensive one. When you should be disrupting the market, your systems are instead disrupting your ability to evolve and change. And this loses you customers and stickiness and, in some cases, reputational value. Control does matter This doesn't mean vendors are the problem. In fact, you need vendors to ensure your systems can scale, innovate, digitise and move at the speed of customer demand. The real issue is how the relationship is structured — and whether you, the retailer, still hold the keys. You need to remain in control of your own ecosystem. That means choosing open, modular systems that can be integrated or extended or replaced. It means avoiding hardcoded architectures and proprietary traps in favour of solutions that allow you to retain skills, knowledge and context. Solutions that keep you right on the edge of real-time decision-making and market demands. This is particularly important in South Africa, where power, infrastructure and connectivity are inconsistent and a persistent challenge. If you have a high-traffic store in Sandton, it won't have the same requirements as one operating in a remote town with loadshedding, water scarcity and limited bandwidth. You need a model that steps away from the one-size-fits-all mindset and instead can adapt to your unique needs at every point. It's a hybrid world A hybrid model combines your in-house capabilities with the right vendor partnerships so you can stay agile without losing your strategic autonomy. When your systems are modular, API ready and cloud-hybrid, you gain the flexibility to plug in new tools, test features or scale down parts of the platform without a complete rebuild. You can prepare for, and more effectively manage, both growth and shocks. This is even more critical today as AI becomes increasingly embedded in retail operations. The technology allows you to manage and optimise so many areas of the business, from theft prediction to dynamic pricing, but you need to retain control so you have the data, visibility and insights to make it work optimally for your business. You have to know what AI models are being used, what data they're trained on and how decisions are being made. If this sits entirely with a third-party, your business is potentially exposed. And you lose out on invaluable visibility into insights around what's driving key operational behaviours. Owning your AI stack or co-developing it with partners who understand the local context will offer you enormous value because it ensures your data and AI architecture are trusted, explainable and adaptable. Building resilience The ability to operate offline, manage on-prem data, or make fast decisions is no longer optional; it is a competitive necessity, especially when every store needs to function as an independent and resilient node. Moving into a modular, hybrid approach to technology architecture adoption and implementation ensures you are building for long-term innovation, adaptability and operational stability. It also gives you the confidence to experiment, integrating AI responsibly, responding to local needs quickly, and making decisions with comprehensive visibility into how systems behave.

Nigeria approves $2.6bln electricity sector debt refinancing plan
LAGOS: Nigeria has approved a phased plan to refinance 4 trillion naira ($2.61 billion) in electricity sector debt to help stabilise the nation's ailing power industry and improve supply, its finance minister said. The debt, primarily owed to 27 power generation companies for outstanding invoices between 2015 and 2023, has stifled investment in the industry and exacerbated chronic power outages in Africa's most populous nation. President Bola Tinubu pledged to settle the claims following a recent verification. He approved the plan on Wednesday. Speaking after a cabinet meeting in the capital Abuja, finance minister Olawale Edun said the refinancing would be executed within three to four weeks under the oversight of the debt management office. "It is now fully approved, and we move to implementation," Edun said. The plan will likely involve bond issuances and other instruments to spread out the repayment liability over time. This aligns with broader sector reforms, including a 35% cut in electricity subsidies and tariff hikes for urban consumers, measures expected to save the government around 1.1 trillion naira, or around $718.58 million, annually.

South Africa focuses on youth to fuel aviation sector growth
The Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, has highlighted government initiatives aimed at equipping young South Africans with skills and opportunities to pursue careers in aviation. These programmes focus on accessibility, mentorship, and gender equity to develop a diverse next generation of aviation professionals. Image source: Gallo/Getty Programmes offered by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA), Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) and the Air Traffic Navigation Services support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter professions such as pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, aeronautical engineers, airport management and development, as well as flight procedure designers, air traffic controllers and related fields. "Support includes structured training programmes; internships, bursaries and learnerships. In our system, there is a strong focus on promoting gender equity in professions which were previously male-dominated. "These programmes represent a deliberate and sustained effort by South African aviation entities to empower a new generation of aviation professionals who reflect the demographic diversity of our country. "Through these initiatives, our State is ensuring that access to critical skills and opportunities is broadened, particularly for young black South Africans and women, in line with our national transformation agenda," the Minister said on Tuesday in Durban. She was addressing the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Next Generation of Aviation Professionals Global Summit, which brings the aviation community together to collaborate on securing the future of aviation talent. "While the sector offers substantial opportunities, these will not materialise unless we address one fundamental challenge - the need for a new generation of skilled professionals. "As seasoned aviation workers retire and the demand for a skilled workforce grows, we must ensure that young people, especially across Africa, are equipped and prepared to step into these roles,' the Minister emphasised. Aviation sector's contribution to the economy According to the International Air Transport Association (Iata), in South Africa in 2023, air transport contributed approximately $ 5.7bn, or (around R105.4bn) one and a half percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 - equivalent to 1.5% of total GDP, supporting 46,000 jobs, 27,000 of whom are licensed aviation professionals. The ICAO forecasts a global demand for over two million qualified aviation personnel by 2030. "Through the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) can exponentially enhance job creation and growth on the African continent. "In recognition of the key role aviation can play in economic development, the Department of Transport targets to reach 42 million passengers and 1.2million tons of air freight through the Acsa network of airports by 2029. 'This will be achieved by increasing the capacity and upgrading of existing airports and aviation facilities, creating new cargo terminals, streamlining airport services and the flow of passengers, and expanding the network of ACSA airports to ensure greater aviation capacity and connectivity throughout South Africa and the broader southern African region,' the Minister said. Barriers to entry and partnerships She encouraged the sector to invest in young people to ensure the sustainability of the aviation industry. "As we all know, the barriers to accessing aviation training can be unaffordable to youth in developing countries such as our own. Funding for training future aviation professionals is key to the growth and sustainability of the aviation industry," Creecy said. The Minister acknowledged the impact that Fly Safair and Airlink have made by partnering with the Regulator (SACAA) to absorb trainees, and provide on-the-job training, experience and flying hours. "I cannot overemphasise the importance of partnerships between the private sector and government in developing talent and ensuring a thriving aviation industry. "We must pay homage to the South African Air Force (SAAF) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) Air Wing, who have continued to demonstrate the impact of aviation in public service. 'We also recognise the South African Airways (SAA) Cadet Pilot Programme, the Denel Technical Academy, Armscor, and SAAB have all played pivotal roles in nurturing critical aviation and engineering skills in our country,' she said. SAAB is a company that was primarily aimed at providing military aircraft to Sweden, but today provides products and services from military defence to civil security. Creecy said the contribution of the Transport Education Training Authority, through ongoing funding support, cannot be overstated - without financial backing, potential often remains unrealised. The Minister also mentioned the non-profit sector with organisations such as Sakhikamva Foundation, Aviation Development Africa, The Children's Flight, and Girl Fly Programme in Africa. "Workforce and skills development challenges are global, and collaboration is essential. That is why South Africa is also an active member of the Global Aviation and Aerospace Skills Taskforce (GAAST) — a growing international coalition bringing together States, regulators, and industry leaders to address global skills shortages and ensure workforce resilience. "The taskforce, which works closely with ICAO's Next Generation of Aviation Professionals programme, aims to build a repository of best practice, support diversity and inclusion, and ensure that talent development keeps pace with new technologies, safety requirements, and decarbonisation,' the Minister said.
