Kwakungeke kube sekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1980 lapho leli gama laqala khona ukufana nokuthenga. Abathengisi basungula kabusha i-Black Friday ukuze babonise indaba yangemuva yokuthi ababhali bezimali basebenzisa kanjani imibala ehlukene, obomvu ukuthola inzuzo embi kanye nomnyama ukuthola inzuzo enhle, ukukhombisa inzuzo yenkampani.

I-Black Friday yaba usuku lapho izitolo zagcina zithole inzuzo khona.

Leli gama lanamathela, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, i-Black Friday isiphenduke umcimbi wesizini yonke oye wadala amaholide amaningi okuthenga, njengoMgqibelo Webhizinisi Elincane kanye noMsombuluko We-Cyber.

Kulo nyaka, iBlack Friday ibingoNovemba 25 kanti iCyber ​​Monday ibingoNovemba 28. Le micimbi emibili yokuthenga isibe yinto efanayo eminyakeni yamuva ngenxa yokusondela kwayo.

Uma usuku, umcimbi noma into ilandelwa igama elithi “umnyama,” ngokuvamile ihlotshaniswa nento embi noma engemihle.

Muva nje, kwavela inganekwane enikeza umbono omubi kakhulu ngaleli siko, ethi emuva ngawo-1800, abanikazi bamasimu aseNingizimu Amhlophe babengathenga izisebenzi ezimnyama ezigqilazwe ngesaphulelo ngosuku olulandela iThanksgiving.
