Bought this in Apr/May and quite impressed with it, it is however a little bulky:

{Output current 2.1 mA}. .LOL.

If that's meant to be amps then this thing will blow up some devices

It won't. The devices will draw however much they can.

milliamps are less than amps, so looks like the devices will blow it up instead

i didnt see that, not that i know what it implies in any case

All i can say is that i've been using it on my phone/s for the past few months with no hassle
My OnePlus5, a few Huawei's and some other devices

Edit: Found this under description if it helps:

The P20000D features two USB ports that output 2.1A total

This might help clear up some confusion:

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. It has served me VERY well

https://www.takealot.com/xiaomi-mi-..._lP65YQj02QdQ8pp3OxoCLsMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Also, when comparing power banks don't miss the differences in quick charge / power delivery compatibility (assuming you have a phone that supports this). A quick charge powerbank makes the world of difference.

If it has a 2.1A output, you are good for quick charge..

I am personally a fan of the Romoss range. Some of the power banks in their range use high quality samsung cells. Recently bough the sense 15000mah for R399. It is now R479 on takealot. Unless of course you use the takealot coupon then it is only R329.
I find the 15000mah model nice size it fits under my phone in case I need to talk while charging.

Not necessarily. 5V/2A is standard charge. Quick charge adds 12V/1.5A and 9V/2A options

Correct. Qualcomm Quick Charge changes voltages but be wary if you are using certain Huawei phones as they don't follow the Qualcomm standard.

If your phone supports Qualcomm Quick Charge then this below is hands down the best battery bank, it also appears to supports Qualcomm Quick Charge when charging the bank itself
Romoss Sense X 10000mAh Power Bank - currently R429 which is the cheapest Ive seen it:

And to complete the circle the Qualcomm Quick Charge car charger, but no stock at the moment:

I think either of the Xiaomi PowerBank Pro or PowerBank 2 are better, and cheaper, 10 000mAh options.
