Makro, Game, Walmart and Builders have released their first Black Friday Week 1 deals in South Africa as part of a month-long promotion. The offers include discounts of up to 50% on big-ticket items, technology, household appliances and everyday essentials.
Why it matters
The month-long promotion gives South African shoppers a sustained window to compare prices on major purchases and household staples. Further offers are expected in the weeks ahead, so the Week 1 deals may be only the first of several rounds.
The Week 1 deals are published by each retailer as promotional pricing, with savings quoted against regular prices, such as Makro's Trojan TR550 Treadmill at R7 999 (saving R2 500) and Game's LG Silver QuadWash washing machine at R7 999 (saving R4 000). The source does not state the total number of products on offer or how the savings compare with prices in earlier promotions.
