Edcon sheds brands | #MobileCommerce

In our top story this week, Edcon CEO Grant Pattison revealed that Boardmans and Red Square stores will soon be no longer as the company intensifies its focus on the Edgars brand in a bid to win back shoppers. Click through for all the details.

Then, we're powering through with our #MobileCommerce content focus. In this week's highlights:

Zando's Graham Du Plessis on the key drivers for mobile shopping on the continent.
Flux Trends' Bronwyn Williams on last mile delivery - digitised democratised and on-demand.
DPO PayGate's Brendon Williamson on trends in the payment space.

In other news, Mastercard's Sarah Quinlan shares why the future of retail will be about clicks, bricks and data-driven insights. While Gary Mortimer and Louise Grimmer explain why private label products are taking over supermarket shelves.

On a lighter note, I present my latest #FreshOnTheShelf column with our top picks of food and beverage products that have hit the retail shelves recently. And Juanita Pienaar reports back from the recent DJI Ronin-S launch.

Until next week, enjoy!
