> Konga (a Nigerian company) is trying to upset Joomla (a South African company) to become the Amazon of Africa, and co-working spaces are starting to sprout all over the place.
I think you meant Jumia instead of Joomla, and it's also a Nigerian company. The South African company that seems to usually be mentioned in the same breath as these two and Amazon is Takealot.com which is a South African company.
Wikipedia says[1] Jumia is headquartered in Lagos and also:
In 2012, Jumia Group was launched with the
support of Rocket Internet, MTN, and Millicom.
In March 2016, Jumia Group secured over €300M
of funding from MTN, Rocket Internet, AXA,
Goldman Sachs, Orange and CDC
Well wouldn't be the first time Wikipedia would be inaccurate.
Tunde Kehinde and Raphael Afaedor started Jumia in 2012 and got bought out c.2014.
It belongs to Rocket Internet now long with its partners. HQ is in Berlin, Germany.
