#BlackFriday: Local retailers see thin Black Friday crowds amid pandemic fears
Just like 2020, this Black Friday was different compared to the other previous years.
Major shopping centres, including the East Rand Mall and East Point Shopping Centre, saw relatively thin crowds of consumers searching for the best Black Friday deals and discounts on Friday morning.
Although it was difficult for shoppers to maintain a social distance while queuing, shoppers were seen wearing their masks.

Retailers also adhered to the Covid-19 regulations, as they only allowed a limited number of people in their store at a time.
Officers from the Boksburg North Police Station were present to monitor the situation around the mall.
