WATCH: Black Friday mania in Amanzimtoti

Before the clock struck 8 o’ clock this morning (Friday, 25 November) crowds of eager shoppers were already thronging into malls across Amanzimtoti.

While the 25^th heralds pay day for some, the number of shoppers awaiting the opening of stores to take advantage of the much publicised Black Friday specials belied the fact that it was a working day.

Watch this video to see how the impatient crowds surge, causing shoppers to be squeezed between their trollies and the trollies behind them.

Retailers are smiling all the way to the bank, in what is clearly the start of the summer silly season spending spree.
