Black Friday was a traditional exclusive to America but now, SA (South Africa) retailers have taken up the tradition and so is rest of the world. The day earned its name as it’s often the day shops “move into the black” meaning they have enough money to cover their costs.

In early hours of the morning Northmag visited Mokopane crossing mall to eyewitness customers queuing for hours, to get their hands on the best bargains. As the doors where opened to get into the Mokopane crossings mall, the shopping mania nearly descended into violence as people argue over trolleys and some fighting for the best deals in store.
