The best Black Friday deals for under R1,000

South African retailers have launched their Black Friday sales, offering significant discounts over the biggest shopping period of the year.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions in place to slow its spread, many local stores have been running extended, month-long sales.

Takealot, for example, offered three weeks of Blue Dot countdown deals before it launched its official Blue Dot Sale this morning.

Makro, Game, Incredible Connection, and many others followed suit, running week-long sales throughout November.

It is now officially Black Friday, however, and many stores have launched new specials in addition to their existing discounts.

Splashing out on a new TV, sound system, or PC gaming rig may be out of the reach of many South Africans at the moment, considering the effect COVID-19 has had on the average consumer’s wallet.

There are still great specials available in the lower price brackets, however, from Android TV boxes and LTE routers to smart cameras and smartphones.
