South Africa is buzzing! From nostalgic memories of beloved stores that vanished to the thrill of winning big on Jacaranda FM, there's a lot to unpack. Let's dive in!
Remembering SA's Gone But Not Forgotten Shops
Remember Reggies, the toy store of every child's dreams? Or Musica and Look & Listen, where we spent hours browsing CDs and DVDs before streaming took over? A recent wave of nostalgia has hit South Africans as content creator Cool Story Bru explored stores that have disappeared. Jay Jays, Dion Wired, and Stuttafords are also among the dearly departed, succumbing to competition and changing consumer habits.
Why Did They Go?
- Increased Competition
- Technological Evolution
- High Retail Costs
These stores represent a bygone era, a reminder of how quickly the retail landscape can change.
Jacaranda FM & LottoStar: Santa's Stash Frenzy!
Meanwhile, Jacaranda FM is teaming up with LottoStar to give away some serious cash with Santa's Stash! Listeners have a chance to win up to R250,000 for themselves and Good Morning Angels. All you have to do is answer a simple LottoStar question and place a bet. It's turning the festive season into a holi-payday for lucky listeners.
KZN Listener's Hilarious Reaction
Over on East Coast Radio, LottoStar's Santa’s Stash has KZN completely unhinged (in the best way possible)! One enthusiastic listener, Matty Govs, is going viral for his over-the-top support for a contestant. Even though he didn't get the call himself, his energy is infectious. It shows how much excitement this competition is generating!
So, whether you're reminiscing about old shops or dreaming of winning big, South Africa is keeping things interesting!
