Black Friday is here and what better time for it to take place than on payday. Since the early hours of Friday morning, frantic shoppers chasing specials have been camping outside stores.
Online website takealot.com crashed on Friday morning and was temporarily down because of the demand of Black Friday shoppers.
Black Friday initially started in the U.S. on the day after Thanksgiving, and the frenzy has now spread throughout the world.
Here are some of the scenes of shoppers camping outside South African stores on Friday morning, waiting for the floodgates to open.
According to Times Live, there was chaos as shoppers forced their way through a Game store in the hopes of getting the best deals first.
The Black Friday frenzy seems to have caught up with most South Africans. Special deals are not limited to stores, even flight and bus tickets are on special.
