The Gumtree Declutterthon is a way for South Africans to get rid of unwanted items for a chance to win bigThe participant who lists the most items on Gumtree during the Declutterthon will be rewarded with the R50,000.According to the online classifieds site, there was an impressive number of items listed between September and mid-October 2019. But now, thanks to the global pandemic and its economic impact, locals are more motivated than ever to sell things they no longer need.
“While spring cleaning is no new phenomenon, the urgency to sell unwanted items certainly is,” says Estelle Nagel, Gumtree SA brand marketing manager. “Money is tighter than ever for most. At the same time, we’ve never spent so much time at home — and we’ve been scrutinising our spaces.” Gumtree expects the number of items listed on their site to rise above 1.1-million between September and mid-October 2020.
