Commuters in Nkowankowa and Ga-Kgapane had to wait in long queues at taxi ranks as a lot of people didn’t want to miss out on big savings and big buys.

Some commuters struggled to even get transport early as buses and taxis were full, causing them to have to wait even longer.

In some stores, mothers could be seen carrying babies on their back while searching for items that may be on sale.

While outside some of the shops, people were seen seated down due to fatigue as they waited on family members and friends who were still busy with their shopping.
