    Although it was a Thursday morning, there was no shortage of patrons at the opening of The Mall of Africa in Midrand, Johannesburg. You would seriously think the failing economy would deter anyone from spending any more money than they should, but then again payday has just showed face.

    Since 5am, traffic along the N1 was disrupted due to the 6am opening times, which were advertised along with opening specials from each of the stores. Twitter revealed the long queues of both cars and people, lined up waiting for a piece of the pie:

    Located in Waterfall City cost R5-billion and consists of 130,000 square metres of space for over 300 stores. The high volumes of traffic even caused the mall to close the booms for an hour.

    Some people reported on Twitter the most of the shops had not even opened and others were still mopping floors when doors were supposed to be opened AT SIX AM.

    Gosh, it makes me feel sick.
