Amazon to Open New Cape Town Fulfillment Center in 2026

South African e-commerce leader Takealot is significantly boosting its delivery capabilities with a new fulfilment depot scheduled to open in Cape Town in early 2026. This strategic expansion is set to enhance the company’s logistics network and speed up service for customers across the region.

The new facility will be located within Inospace’s Powder Mill Park in the Ndabeni area. CEO Rael Levitt confirmed the depot will officially begin operations on January 15, 2026. He highlighted the site’s prime location, noting it is minutes from key logistics hubs and major transport routes.

A Hub for E-commerce Growth

Powder Mill Park is undergoing a major transformation to become Cape Town’s first dedicated e-commerce logistics park. This initiative is a core part of Takealot Group’s broader strategy to streamline its supply chain and support business growth. The partnership creates a powerful ecosystem for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to thrive.

Under the arrangement, Takealot Fulfilment Services (TFS) will manage the entire process for sellers. This includes storage, order fulfilment, last-mile delivery, and customer service. Entrepreneurs can store their products at the depot and leverage the extensive Takealot platform to reach a national audience.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

This model allows smaller businesses to scale rapidly without the burden of managing complex logistics internally. The new Takealot depot is poised to be a game-changer for the local digital economy. It provides SMEs with the physical space and logistical backbone needed to compete effectively in the growing online marketplace.
