Here are the Black Friday 2021 deals from Takealot, Everyshop and other online-only stores

South Africa’s major online stores have all announced their shopping deals ahead of Black Friday 2021, which falls on Friday, 26 November.
Online shopping has become increasingly prevalent during South Africa’s Black Friday shopping period, with the Covid-19 pandemic accelerating the move towards digital stores, says Standard Bank.
“Although lockdown restrictions have eased, consumers are still wary of large crowds and many people have now become more comfortable with online shopping,” said Nelisa Zulu, head of card and payments South Africa at Standard Bank.
“This shift from traditional to online retail was impacted by Covid-19 and the need for safer, more convenient ways of purchasing groceries and essentials, which resulted in phenomenal growth for e-commerce.”
