After a significant amount of research online, I found this speaker to be the best combination of value with features that I'm looking for. I've searched the classic takealot, loot, Incredible Connection etc. but couldn't find it in stock anywhere.

Does anyone know of any niche or alternative retailers to check or shop at?
 
If you are willing to purchase from China, there should be good discounts available in the next few days (24~28 August) during the Brands Shopping Week promotion. It is currently being advertised for $80.25 during the promotion but you should be able to pick up some coupons to reduce the price further. You would have to contact them using the blue Contact button to see whether they can ship to South Africa using Buffalo or Aramex. If you decide to purchase it from Aliexpress I can send you my referral code which should give you $24 worth of coupons in total if this is your first purchase on the platform.

Thank you very much Jake! I will definitely check out Aliexpress, don't mind waiting at all.
 
Just contact them first to see whether they can ship it to you for a reasonable price. Post again if you want any additional discounts via coupons etc. I think you need to register using a referral code if you want to get the largest discount coupons.

For interest sake, what makes this one so different from those locally available that you would go through the extra effort and shipping for it?

So I’m quite a picky person. I wanted to go for the JBL Flip 5, but it doesn’t have an aux connection which I’d like to have as a back-up for older devices that can’t use bluetooth.

Furthermore the Flip 5 is a mono speaker instead of stereo like the JBL Flip 4. Here my beef is not so much with the fact that it is mono per say, but rather that the sound comes skewed from the left - which I find quite upsetting. But of course se JBL Flip 4 is not in stock anywhere. Only on Amazon at around R2 300 including shipping and taxes.

So then I figured that if I’m gonna import in any case, I might as well search for something nice. This is where the Soundcore Motion+ comes in:
*Greater sound clarity (with little bass tradeoff - I’m not that big bass anyway)
*Adjustable EQ preferences.
*Aux
*USB-C

Do you have any other speakers to suggest looking in to?

Ok, clearly you have considered exactly what you want.
What is the purpose of the speaker? Outside for a braai?
This makes a difference for whether you hear the sound coming out the left or not.

I have a JBL Go for when outside or out and about.. works great. When inside, I have my towers and subs and centre.

Have you considered:
Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 or SONY SRS-XB21?
 
It will mostly be outside for lekker kuiers, but I would want to fall back onto it for computer/television audio as a last resort - the student life is not blessing me with enough dough yet to get a nice sound bar.

My sister actually has the JBL Go that I bought her a year or so ago and that thing punches quite impressively for the size.

The Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 is very nice with the 360 sound, but for some reason I prefer the focused single directional sound. I am actually strongly considering the XB21, especially if I can get it for a good price as well (still browsing around).
 
Here is a Price History chart for the Anker Soundcore Motion+ on Aliexpress. As you can see it doesn't often get discounted that low.

Alex, did you buy one? I am keen on this one too, for the same reasons.
 
Mine is arriving tomorrow hopefully - I will let you know what I think.
NOBODY ships this thing here, but I did find a loophole on a popular website, so let me know if you are still looking for one.
 
Add one to your basket and see if they deliver it here... that's the problem, even with the far-east websites.
 
On Amazon, only the black one can be ordered (red and blue ones say "cannot deliver to your location"), and when I ordered it, it could only be delivered here if it was out of stock (if in-stock it also said "cannot be delivered"), but it still let me add it to my cart, but it seemed to bypass the location check if it wasn't actually in stock.

I just checked again now and it is in stock, AND it also let me add it to my cart all the way to payment stage - so something may have changed. Very odd that only black can be delivered here... Even eBay and Aliexpress, etc. won't deliver it here. Do you think it is the battery that is the issue? I can't imagine so.
 
Ordered it on the 12th and it arrived today (there was only the standard shipping option available, so Aramex took their sweet time). I have only played with it for a few minutes but it is well worth it so far. HUGE clear sound, and aux-in which is what I was looking for.
 
Hi guys, just a quick one

Has anybody bought a Soundcore Motion+ recently? I'm trying to figure out how to buy one
