BOBZA’s aim is to become a national and continental major retailer specialising in selling and advertising products & services (P&Ss) offered by BOBs (Black-Owned Businesses) – a largely oppressed majority (more than 80%) that were barred from starting and running their own businesses during Apartheid (a system of oppressive institutional racial segregation in South Africa).

Our purpose is to make it cheaper and more efficient for majority of the population to fully participate within their own retail mar
