Howzit mense,

I'm in SA for a week, Jo'burg area. I want to load up on some SA tunes and maybe a few SA movies. Where do I go? Looks like Musica, Look & Listen and the like are no more. Google search results aren't promising:




Eish!

Going by your search results, go clear your Thetan's and the desire for physical media will pass

Look and Listen closed over a decade ago already lol. For movies, maybe try The Majestic in Randburg.

Thread 'We visited one of South Africa's last DVD rental stores'

Inside one of South Africa's last DVD rental stores

MyBroadband recently took a trip down memory lane with a visit to one of the last remaining DVD rental stores in South Africa.

Before high-speed Internet enabled on-demand streaming of movies and series, renting physical video media to watch at home was highly popular.

I'm still 50/50 with this being some sort of a troll thread or rage bait

Not at all. I've just been living abroad for a few decades. Still prefer to own my music and movies on physical media.

You can also have a look at the local "Cash Converters" / "Cash Crusaders" pawn and secondhand shops. They usually have a reasonable selection selling for next to nothing.

Thanks, I saw that further up. Not looking to rent though.

Not sure where in Joburg, but this is a reasonable option - Micogram Music Traders. We pop in there occasionally for a trip down memory lane. My daughter found an old Fleetwood Mac album my wife wanted for her birthday. Good luck.

It's not only rental, they sell too.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

weird how we all become so accustomed to renting music that we never physically own,

 

[phool]

Another vote for Micogram Music Traders . They also have an online shop Stereo 5/previously jikajive (https://stereo5.com/).

They have a branch in Parkhurst but the bigger store is located off Beyers Naudé Drive.
