Ten years since Checkers introduced Black Friday to South Africa
Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets are ready to welcome millions of shoppers for the tenth anniversary of Black Friday. Customers can look forward to meaningful discounts of up to 50% on essential groceries, toys, baby products, tech, pets, small appliances, outdoor gear and clothing from Thursday, 28 November to Sunday, 1 December 2024.
Checkers became the first supermarket retailer to introduce Black Friday in South Africa in 2014, with Shoprite following suit three years later. Aimed at providing cash-strapped consumers with much-needed savings ahead of the festive season, the promotion has since evolved into a nationwide retail bonanza.

My view is different. Public Relations are a key component of any operation in this day of instant communications and rightly inquisitive citizens. – Alvin Adams

I sense that what you two [Elie Wiesel and Frank Moore Cross] share is that you each have a public relationship to the Biblical text and a somewhat private relationship to the Biblical text. – Frank Moore Cross

I will say that the difference was that when you\’re an Army journalist, as opposed to a civilian correspondent covering the military, you\’re very often either a Public Relations agent or expected to perform that role. I would say that one of the most unexpected benefits of that job was being taught to never try to cover anything up, but rather to get any bad information out right away, so that there would be nothing more to come out later. This was a wonderful lesson to be taught because often the effort to cover up a story becomes a bigger story than the original one. – Clarence Page
