Article highlights:

  • The Foschini Group’s (TFG) businesses in SA and elsewhere on the continent, reported like-for-like turnover growth of 5.7% in the quarter to end-December compared to the previous year.
  • This was thanks in part to a bumper Black Friday and Cyber Monday in SA, which delivered turnover of more than R1 billion on those two days.
  • Over recent years, TFG switched its manufacturing to South Africa, away from China, and more than 70% of its clothing sold in the African market is now produced locally.
