South Africa's biggest Black Friday spenders — including a R1.88-million purchase

Black Friday 2022 again saw single transactions worth hundreds of thousands of rands in South Africa, while at least two customers spent over a million rand in total on the day.

Physical retailers and online stores offered substantial discounts on a range of products and services during this year's big shopping event.

The company I'm doing work for bought a piece of equipment in September on their corporate card for R1.3mil in a single day.

You do know that there are thousands of businesses that make large business purchases daily right? Some might make use of Black Friday deals. When you're spending that amount, even a 10% savings is huge.

I spent R150k on a camera and a lens not too long ago. People spend money all the time... There's far more of it out there than a lot of people seem to think

You get secondary cards. So Zuma could share his main account with 12 of his wives.
