More and more South African retailers are now celebrating Black Friday. It’s now only a matter of time before we start celebrating Thanksgiving.
The thrill of Black Friday is that no one knows what the deals will be, just that there will be deals. Deals are released at the stroke of midnight and it’s first come first serve. Some are meh, some good, some great and some really not to be missed.
Below are all South African Black Friday deals to check out, with most retailers you need to sign up to their Black Friday newsletter to get the deals emailed to you when they go live.
