About Us

Building Africa's marketplace from scratch, the right way.

themarket.africa is a pan-African classifieds and commerce platform built to give African buyers and sellers the tools they deserve. No paywalls, no friction, no foreign assumptions.

The Problem We're Solving

Every major classified marketplace in Africa was either built outside the continent or adapted from a foreign template. The result: platforms that charge sellers just to be seen, that cap free listings, that offer zero analytics, and that have no understanding of intra-African commerce. Jiji, Tonaton, Jumia all built around extraction, not enablement.

Across Africa, millions of entrepreneurs rely on informal WhatsApp groups because the digital alternatives don't actually work for them. We're changing that.

What We're Building

themarket.africa is a free-to-list, cross-border classifieds platform open to all of Africa from day one. Our core promise: listing is always free. We earn only through optional marketing boosts that sellers choose.

  • Unlimited free listings with no expiry and no hidden fees
  • Cross-border listing visibility across multiple African countries
  • Seller vetting and fraud prevention built into the platform
  • Analytics and insights so sellers understand who's looking and why
  • 24/7 support automated when possible, human when it matters

Our Values

Access First

Economic participation shouldn't require a subscription. Every seller deserves a free, functional digital storefront.

Pan-African by Design

Commerce doesn't stop at national borders. We're building the infrastructure for intra-African trade from day one.

Trust & Safety

Verified sellers, fraud prevention, and transparent dispute handling trust is infrastructure, not a feature.

Data for Sellers

Sellers deserve to know who's looking at their listings and what's driving or killing their sales.

General

What is themarket.africa?

For Sellers

Is it really free to list? No catch?
Yes, genuinely free. No fee to post, no fee to renew, no limit on ads. We earn only when sellers choose to buy an optional marketing boost. You can sell successfully without ever paying a single cedi.
How is this different from Jiji?
Jiji charges sellers to boost visibility and limits free listings. themarket.africa gives every seller unlimited free listings. On top of that we offer cross-border reach, seller analytics, and seller vetting features Jiji simply doesn't have.
