Some brands in South Africa have already unveiled some of their 2022 Black Friday deals – way before the actual shopping bonanza slated for 25 November.
These include Woolworths, Edgars, Incredible Connection and Hirsch’s. They have decided to release some specials early while building up to the actual date.
Other brands, such as Game, have however decided to return to the pre-pandemic approach of offering specials on Black Friday itself. In 2020 and 2021, most brands unveiled discounts throughout the Black Friday month to avoid overcrowding in stores.
