Warranty and returns under the Consumer Protection Act

Local retailers' terms refer to the Consumer Protection Act. One retailer's policy describes an implied six-month warranty from delivery where section 56 of the Act applies, and says qualifying goods can be returned. Read the seller's returns terms before you pay, ask whether the warranty covers each part separately, and keep the proof of purchase and the delivery note.

Season: buy the warm layer before winter

South Africa is in the southern hemisphere, so its seasons are the reverse of Europe's. Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. October 2026 is late spring, so lightweight tops and shorts suit the coming summer, while a track jacket or hoodie is a June to August purchase. Buy the warm layer in May or early June, before the cold months arrive.

How sportswear is sold and delivered

Prices are quoted in rand. Sizes appear on labels as numbers or letters, such as Size 34 or Size L, so give the size you wear and, if you can, your chest or waist measurement in centimetres. Name the city where the item should arrive, from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, so that sellers can quote delivery to that address.

What to put in your request

Name the sport or activity, such as running, gym or cycling, and the item you want. Add the fit and fabric, the brand if you have one, the colour, and whether you want new or second-hand. Give a budget in rand so that every offer sits within it.
