SA's Black Friday is a “scam”. This is according to unhappy shoppers who flocked to social media to complain the discounts offered are “not actually” discounts.

However, this year some shoppers were not impressed with the less than 50% discounts offered by many shops, and said prices were not reduced as much as expected.

Other social media users said Black Friday was “literally the biggest form of clownery” in the country.Black Friday in South Africa is literally the biggest form of clownery I've ever seen— Malume DirtyDrinks 🍹 South Africa shouldn't participate in black Friday cos am seeing rubbish onlyBlack friday deals in South Africa are trash af.... hate it here.

Only now you notice🙄

That's what happens when you want to copycat other countries. Black Friday was never a 'thing' in SA to begin with. Next time try and be original instead of trying to imitate other countries

When times are tough, everything gets the scrutiny.

It was R500 Now is R499

About time the people woke up and smelled the roses! We are constantly being taken for a ride by misleading advertising by retailers!

Good one mzansi people ...

Great to see my people slowly waking up. This is how we beat poverty. Next on the agenda of BS is expensive weddings and funerals. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

They raised prices prior to Black Friday and today just just give us the percentage of the raised prices while the original prices were not affected

And it’s true.

BlackFriday has always been a scam! South Africans don’t listen. That’s why we’re the biggest victims of scams and conmen. If Bushiri and all these other foreign scammers can enrich himself from our gullibility, why should the local retailers not do that as well? I would 2!
