As South Africa witnesses a burgeoning influx of retail e-commerce users, one name stands out in the crowd—SHEIN.

At it’s last fundraising round, Shein was valued at a whooping $66 Billion. Read more here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dGbEZ6Qu #shein #stock #ecommerce #startup #fundraising
