We’re still not sure how or why South Africa adopted Black Friday, but they did and so each year we create a guide to every deal that’s happening over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend. Black Friday 2018 falls out on Friday, 23 November.
Most retailers haven’t yet released details (or if they’re participating), so we’ll keep updating this article as more sales and details become available.
