    MIH Internet Sub-Saharan Africa to close down
    Kalahari Kenya and Nigeria

    On 24 October 2011 MIH Internet (Sub-Saharan Africa) advised that, following a strategic review of its investment priorities, it will be closing down the Kalahari Kenya and Nigeria operations with immediate effect.
    MIH launched online retail services in Kenya and Nigeria under the Kalahari brand in October 2009 and January 2010, respectively. This was pioneering work which carried considerable risk. As the performance of the service has been below expectation since launch and reaching profitability was not a reasonable near-term prospect, a decision was made to refocus efforts on other group businesses within the region. Specifically, our Dealfish and Mocality sites will continue to operate.

    It is a pity u guys had to close. Africa is a challenging environment for e-business. U guys could have stayed again for a while.

    But again, in nigeria there is an onlinebookshop that has been serving us very fine. It is called walahi (www.walahi.com). I have bought books severally from them, and they offer prompt delivery. I prefer to buy from them, than buying from amazon! I just receive one of the book I ordered from them 4 days ago- Intl MGT by Richard Mead.

    Your dealfish project is a good strtegy to penetrate the nigerian market, since small buyers and sellers can meet thru this platform. It will be like the alibaba site in china, which is now very popular and making money.

    Wish u well.

    Well there are other great options like www.circuitatlantic.com that are going to be around for a while serving Nigerians.

    I could not believe I would not be enjoying the good stuff of books I have always seen on Kalahari.The company could have been allowed to restrategise for better profitability.

    Too too bad.Why bother signing us up at The GCLF in PHC.
    Too disappointing.

    I wonder why they were closed down? There's this site you could shop in the US and pay in Naira and receive right at your door step.

    Until broad band wifi is in most homes in nigeria every one doing e-commerce retail as the primary point of purchase is wasting its time.

    i did it in 2005 as a 23 year old graduate and i will tell you Nigeria is not ready.

    and trust me nothing as changed...
