These queues are very long but I hope I will be able to finish buying what I want before most shops close said Mr. Mabhena who was queuing at a bank. For most people Christmas is a time they unite with their families in giving receiving and sharing. While also some take it buy new clothes and other household appliance upon getting their bonuses.

Most furniture shops have decided to offer low interest rates and even 0% deposit for their customers as a means of luring them to buy and made flexible payment terms for as much as 12-36 months to pay for households while 6 months for clothing.

The festive season has also seen the jetting in of those that are diasporian bound and even those in the neighboring countries to enjoy with their families. While others have taken to visit their rural homes as a means of uniting with their extended families.
