Johannesburg’s R15 shopping spot goes viral on TikTok

Finding a good bargain has become something of a sport for many South Africans, especially as the cost of living continues to climb. So when a TikTok video claimed there was a section inside a Johannesburg mall where every single item costs just R15, social media users were quick to take notice.

The viral clip, posted by TikToker @khabii_ on 7 July, has sparked widespread interest after showcasing what appears to be an affordable shopping destination inside Times Square International Mall.

A shopper’s dream for just R15

Describing herself as a “professional shopaholic”, Khabii takes viewers on a tour of the mall before revealing the bargain section.

“R15. Yes, every single thing in the store is R15. Just look at how massive the store is,” she says in the video.

She goes on to describe Times Square International Mall as her new favourite shopping spot, praising its spacious layout, clean environment and wide selection of stores.

According to the video, the R15 section offers an impressive range of products, including hair accessories, beauty tools, cosmetics, clothing, lingerie and home essentials, making it an attractive stop for shoppers looking to stretch their budgets.

Khabii also highlights other retailers inside the mall, including a store called TrendyLand, as well as a textile and sewing section, encouraging viewers to visit and experience it for themselves.

As reported by Briefly News, the video quickly attracted attention from South Africans, many of whom headed straight to the comments section with one question: Where exactly is this store?

Viewers flooded the post asking for the precise address, store name and directions, while others tagged friends and family who love hunting for affordable finds.

The excitement reflects a growing demand for budget-friendly shopping options as consumers continue searching for ways to save without sacrificing variety.

While discount stores and bargain retailers have become increasingly popular across South Africa, a section where everything is priced at R15 naturally caught people’s attention.

Whether shoppers are looking for beauty products, household items or everyday accessories, the viral TikTok has certainly put Times Square International Mall on the radar of bargain hunters across Gautengand perhaps even further afield.
