Black Friday may be a relatively new concept for South Africa, but it has gained traction among retailers in almost every retail and service sector in the country over the past two years.<\/p>\n

If you look around for Black Friday deals today, it’s very likely that you will find almost every store offering some sort of discount or special price – even where you least expect it.<\/p>\n

While retailers like Takealot, Makro and Dion Wired previously led the charge, offering discounts on popular tech products, you will now find everyone – from coffee shops to nurseries – taking part in the Black Friday craze.<\/p>\n

Among the usual suspects, you may also find some more unexpected retailers with their own take.<\/p>\n

With literally hundreds of specials available, you’re likely to come across some deals outside of what you’re used to and may have slipped you by – here are some of the more unusual Black Friday offerings we have seen.<\/p>\n
