The big day has arrived. It’s Black Friday and the Mother City’s shoppers have got their fair share of jaw-dropping deals. But not without a solid dose of mayhem. There’s no doubt that Cape Town is home to a throng of budget-savvy locals who are more than willing to go the extra mile to score a bargain.
At Edgars, customers grabbed whatever they could get their hands on and rejoiced in the wake of one-day-only specials.
The aisles of Checkers in N1 City were packed with trolleys leaving barely any space to move, as patrons scurried around to bag their grocery essentials.
