This is youth economy.
This is Zaka Culture.
ShopZaka isn’t just an online marketplace. It’s a cultural movement built for the next generation of South African creators, hustlers, and tastemakers.
We connect young entrepreneurs — our ZakaBosses — with a vibrant community of buyers we call ZakaFam. Together, they’re building an economy that’s local, loud, and loaded with flavour. Whether you’re selling handmade merch, streetwear, art, beauty drops, beats, or baked goods — or supporting your fave’s first business — Zaka is where it starts.
This is the new school of commerce. No corporates. No middlemen. No imports needed.
It’s time to
ShopZaka!
Step into SA’s freshest youth online marketplace — packed with streetwear, handmade gems, vintage finds, beauty drops, digital goods, and flavours you won’t find in malls.
Every purchase backs a young hustler, fuels the youth economy, and keeps it 100% local.
Shop bold. Shop fresh. ShopZaka.
Our Culture Runs Deep and So Do Our Pillars
1.
Local > Global
We back our own. Why buy imports when the drip is in your street? Imports don’t bang. Zaka does.
2.
Hustle > Handouts
We don’t wait for jobs. We make Zaka. From Kasi to cashie — ZakaBoss moves.
3.
Clout = Currency
If you’ve got style, skill, or sauce — sell it. Likes don’t pay rent. Sales do.
4.
Next Up > Famous
Support your friend’s brand like it’s a celeb drop. Everyone famous was FreshDrop once.
5.
Local > Corporates
You’re not buying from a brand. You’re buying from a ‘Bra’. Mzansi buyers. Mzansi bosses. That’s Zaka.
6.
Smart is bank
ZakaBosses don’t just grind — they plan. Know your worth. Then VAT that.
Defining the next generation of entrepreneurs
7.
Culture = Currency
