November Is Here & So Is Black Friday

will the deals be better this year?

Every year, Black Friday comes around. Though it started quite small in South Africa, it’s become a case of everyone and their cousins and extended family having a Black Friday deal. Even taxis have jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon.

I thought I would do a round-up of all the best tech deals you could shop this Black Friday from some major retailers and e-commerce stores:

Takealot

Takealot is gearing up for its annual Blue Dot Sale as the countdown to Black Friday has begun.

Let’s look at some of the deals you can expect to see.

As covered in a previous newsletter, 65 inches is the preferred TV size for South Africans, so this one might just be your next.

You usually can’t go wrong with a pair of headphones from Sony and these will be on a good deal on Black Friday.

I will continue to share more Black Friday deals in the coming weeks. Make sure you share the newsletter and spread the word.

The Young Brazilian Taking Over The World

it’s all over the fyp..

Seemingly out of nowhere, this young man showed up on my TikTok FYP and for the past few months, he hasn’t gone anywhere.

MC Menor JP took TikTok by storm with his melodic rap as he walked through the Favelas of Rio.

Menina de vermelho ❤️🇺🇸🇧🇷

The video has gone so viral that the young musician even got to meet Mr. Beast and shoot a couple of videos with him.

@mrbeast

We found him @mcmenor.jp #brazil #funk

Now you’re probably wondering if an official song was released for this track and yes there was. Take a listen:
