Online classified website Gumtree is the most popular South African website. This is according to a study done by audience measurement supplier Effective Measure.

The classifieds site attracts an audience of almost 8 million unique visits to the platform every month.

MD of Gumtree South Africa Johan Nel said the announcement confirmed what his team knew for some time.

“Gumtree is the biggest website, and the biggest classifieds site, in South Africa. Customers told us they are loyal to the site because it does what it’s meant to do for them. Anyone can log on, for free, and find their personal success...whether it’s promoting your home business, selling your unwanted exercise bike or finding your first home” he said

The site has been operational in South Africa since 2005, with more than 700 000 live ads on the platform at any given time.
