Why rebrand something thats already a household name,and the money they have invested in the brand

not a good business move.This will one day make a good case study in business schools just like
kencell>> celtel>> zain >> airtel>>....

"And in case you’re already wondering what OLX stands for, it is an acronym for ‘Online Exchange’, but has also been described as the ‘Oh Love Exchanging’ platform"

I second you on this one... whether online or not, the market landscape and dynamics in SA are totally different here. d'oh!

OLX is a global brand, not sure they have made dealsfish better even common searches functional earlier don't seem to be working now.

I was under the impression that Dealfish was mlies ahead of everybody else in terms online advertising... Did they have problems monetising the traffic? Moses Kemibaro not having much luck-maybe should have stuck with his own business

Things are moving too fast in this industry. Can one even make a five year plan?
