South Africa’s largest online store Takealot originally brought Black Friday to the country’s shores way back in 2012, forever changing the local retail landscape. Fast forward to 2024 and the deals have never been better. What started as the Blue Dot Sale Countdown moved into Early Access, and tomorrow marks the big day itself - Black Friday.
Plus, the Black Friday live shopping marathon is back again; coupons are on the hour, every hour for 24 hours. Starting one-minute past midnight, 29 November. PlayStation 5 consoles, Samsung TVs, Klipdrift, Apple and more.
