Group Buying in South Africa

It links up strangers interested in purchasing the same product/service to (usually) small local businesses who provide the product to each member of that group at a drastically discounted rate. This way they get a better deal by making purchases together. The group buying service is usually a localised service in order to provide deals to locals of their target city/community.

It’s a simple principle: If enough people agree to buy something, they all get a big discount. If that specified number is not reached, however, the deal is dead. The site offers one deal per day in the cities it covers, and the number of cities in the network is growing fast. Everybody loves a bargain!

Now you too can take part in the fun: The two most popular Group Buying services in South Africa currently are WiCount and Twangoo – there are many more:
