Tasneem Thavar is one of the rising stars in the over 160 000 people working for South Africa’s largest private employer. In less than ten years, Tasneem’s dedication and passion for retail saw her moving rapidly through the ranks at the Shoprite Group into the position of Head Buyer for the Usave supermarket brand, that has over 484 stores across all nine provinces.

It is my privilege to present results that aptly reflect a year in which we remained focused on our business and what we stand for – being best-priced, in-stock, solution-driven and customer-led. Our 12.0% increase in Group sales equates to our core South African supermarkets customers spending R21.4 billion more with us this year. During a time when customers are incredibly pressured, this is the greatest reward for our efforts which come as a result of best-in-class execution, innovation and an unwavering dedication to serve. 

The Shoprite Group has been recognised as a Top Employer for 2024 by the Top Employers Institute, a global authority on excellence in people practices.

The largest South African retailer by market capitalisation, sales, profit and number of employees and customers.
