Things to Love About a TECNO Phone @TECNOMobileSA

Hi Guys, 

From useful features and trendy design to great value for money, there are many things to love about a TECNO smartphone

Love is in the air, as February marks the month of love with Valentine’s Day being celebrated (or not celebrated, depending on your relationship status). However, a relationship situation to definitely celebrate is the one you have with your smartphone, which brings so much connectivity, functionality, convenience, and entertainment to your life. There’s much to love about a TECNO phone, with the following being just some of the standouts.

A Trendy Look and Comfortable Feel

The look of a phone is the first thing that people notice, and TECNO phones bring very pleasing and trendy aesthetics with their designs. They allow you to stand out, making a statement to others that you are serious about looking your best with a premium handset (even though its price is far from emptying your bank account). They are also comfortable to hold and fit into your hand, pocket, or bag with ease.

Top Tech at Affordable Prices

Speaking of emptying your bank account, the prices of some phones these days make them inaccessible to many people. One of TECNO’s core missions is to bring the best tech packed into a smartphone at an affordable price, democratising the accessibility of a reliable, useful device. What’s not to love about that? Instead of sacrificing quality to bring the pricing down, with lower tech included or inferior parts, TECNO’s devices are a testament to the fact that devices with quality tech don’t need to cost you an arm and a leg.

More Than Just a Smartphone

When you purchase a TECNO smartphone, you are not just getting a phone. Even more value comes out of the box with a charger, USB charging cable, earphones, screen protector and phone cover also included with the device. This is not a guarantee with every phone you buy these days, where in some instances you must pay extra for these essential accessories. The charger and charging cable come with a six-month warranty, the earphones have a three-month warranty, and the TECNO phone is covered by a 13-month warranty.

Every TECNO device is also dual SIM and network open, meaning no matter what cellular network you are on, you can use the device.

Useful Features and Google Mobile Services

TECNO phones come with HiOS, an operating system that brings some helpful and useful features. These include App Twin, which allows you to log to two social media accounts at the same time, Social Turbo, which provides much more functionality to WhatsApp, Bubbles, which floats notifications at the top of other apps ensuring you never miss important info, and Smart Panel, which allows you to quickly access your favourite and frequently-used apps.

There are many more useful features to explore and love, thanks to HiOS. Every TECNO device also comes preloaded with all your favourite Google Mobile Service apps, so you don’t have to worry about struggling to access them.

Lag-free Multitasking Thanks to Memory Fusion

If you haven’t yet heard of this very useful technology incorporated into TECNO phones, then you are in for a treat! One of the most frustrating things is your phone lagging when you are multitasking while trying to meet a deadline, or another similar example. With Memory Fusion, these situations are non-existent.

Memory Fusion draws unused read-only memory (ROM) and channels it to random access memory (RAM) operations. This enhances the device’s multi-tasking capacity, translating into seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieving frequently accessed files and apps, and stabilising the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life.

TECNO Devices at Great Deals

TECNO currently has special deals with some of its retail partners to bring you useful and reliable smartphones at even more affordable prices. Bringing ease, convenience, and great value for money are some of the key guiding principles of TECNO phones, which pack the best tech into them.

Currently, the SPARK 10 5G is available for R3,499 at Edgars (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last). That’s an amazing saving of R1,500. Other TECNO devices with special offers at Edgars include the SPARK 10C (R2,599 – save R900), the SPARK GO 2023 (R1,799 – save R700), and POP 7 (R1,599 – save R400).

Ackermans and PEP also have special offers on TECNO phones at present with SPARK GO 2023 available for R1,899 at both (save R400), and POP 7 available at Ackermans for R1,699 (save R300) - (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Things to Love About an itel Phone @itel_SA

Hi Guys, 

itel’s affordable phones not only look and feel good but also boast surprising features and specs for phones in their price range

Having celebrated Valentine’s Day this week, love is certainly in the air. Whether you have a significant other or not, a relationship you may not have thought about recognising and celebrating is the one you have with your phone.

It’s your constant companion, which brings you connectivity with family, friends and loved ones; convenience and functionality; entertainment, and much more. In a world where technology reigns supreme and phone choices are plentiful, a brand to definitely look at is itel, which brings affordable phones that not only look and feel good but also boast surprising features and specs for phones in their price range. Here are some of the standout features and specs to love about itel devices.

Eye-catching Designs and Comfortable to Use

Starting with the most obvious, being the outside, itel phones boast a trendy look. The design philosophy of these phones is a harmonious blend of sleek aesthetics and practical functionality, resulting in devices that not only catch the eye but also enhance the overall user experience. They come in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing users to express their personal style. Their weight and size also make them comfortable to hold and use, which is more important than people first think.

Democratising Phone Accessibility

Playing mostly in the entry-level to mid-range space, the pricing of itel phones makes them more accessible for more people. An example is the itel P40, which you can pick up for R1,599 on a current special offer. A quality, reliable phone doesn’t need to cost you a small fortune, as demonstrated by itel phones.

Everyday Photography Needs Met

While the saying goes ‘You get what you pay for’, the camera setup and performance on most itel phones (especially the newer models) is decent, especially when compared with the price of the device. In the budget-conscious segment, itel phones often provide cameras suitable for everyday photography needs, with quite a few adjustable settings to enhance the quality of pictures.

Long-lasting Battery Life

With loadshedding ramping up and access to charging devices becoming more and more limited, having a phone that can last power-wise is essential. itel phones pack large, long-lasting batteries into them, meaning you don’t have to worry about your phone dying at crucial times. An example would be the itel P40, whose 6,000mAh battery translates into three days off of one charge (average – dependent on the heaviness of phone usage).

Reliable and Durable

Having a phone that won’t need to be replaced anytime soon can’t be overstated. One that is reliable durable and dependable. itel phones fall into this category because despite being affordable the quality of their builds has not been sacrificed.

More Than Just a Phone in the Box

When you buy an itel device, you are not just getting a phone in the box. Along with the affordable price, even more value comes out of the box with a charger, USB charging cable, earphones, screen protector and phone cover also included. This is not a guarantee with every phone you buy these days, where in some instances you must pay extra for these essential accessories.

Note: The availability of these features and specs may vary depending on the model of the itel device in question.

Special Offers on itel Phones

You can get a new itel device at an even more affordable price, with deals currently running at several retail partners. These include Mr Price, which is offering the itel P40 at R1,599 (save R400), the itel V52 at R699, and the itel A48 at R899 (save R300) - (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Ackermans and PEP also have special offers on itel phones at present with both the itel P40 and itel A04 available for R1,699 (save R300) and R999 respectively at Ackermans. If you’re looking for a more basic model that adequately covers your connectivity needs, the itel it2163 is selling for only R159 at PEP (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Visit the itel South Africa Facebook page for more information on these current deals and others, competitions, and new offerings.

Availability

Various itel smartphones, including the P40, A05s, A60s, A60, A04, A18, and V52 LTE are available from select retail partners in South Africa. These include Ackermans, Edgars, HiFi Corp, Incredible, JET, Mr Price, PEP, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, and TFG (availability varies per retailer, per store and while stocks last). Visit the itel South Africa Facebook page to stay informed on the latest news.

Things to Love About Your Phone @TECNOMobileSA @itel_SA

Hi Guys, 

We often take our phones for granted in terms of what they bring to our lives. They are our constant companions, yet we forget to appreciate all they can do and how they enhance our lives

In the over 50 years since the first commercially available handheld cellular mobile phone was made available, phones have come a long way. Starting as basic devices with only a select few functions, they have evolved to become all-we-need-in-life in the palm of our hand. In this month of love, TECNO and itel unpack the main reasons why you should love your mobile phone.

It Keeps You Connected

Staying in touch with family, friends and loved ones in a portable way was the initial function of a mobile phone. That is what they were designed to do. Not being tied to one place because of a corded phone allowed more freedom and certainly brought more convenience to life. Nowadays, phones still serve this function, but there are now far more choices when it comes to communication methods. From old-school calls, emails and SMS to new-school WhatsApp, social media DMs, and Snapchat, whatever your preference, your phone keeps you connected.

It Keeps You Informed

Information at your fingertips is powerful, and as phones evolved getting ahold of info became more and more accessible. Online news websites and social media mean that finding out what is happening locally and globally has never been easier. Identifying fake and biased news is one challenge, but staying informed is crucial.

Online courses have also opened up learning and skills development to more people, particularly those who are free, with constant self-improvement now a reality for many.

It Keeps You Entertained

Whether your choice of entertainment is watching series and movies, scrolling through social media, playing games, or some combination of these, finding ways to combat boredom is easy with your phone. Taking your entertainment with you wherever you go is an added benefit, so whether you are in transit, on your lunchbreak at work, or looking to kill time while waiting for an appointment, your phone has you covered.

It Brings Convenience and Ease to Your Life

No matter what you need to do, or whatever want you have, there’s bound to be a mobile app for that. From ordering and delivery of food, and easy navigation, to weather, security and much more, app developers are constantly looking to bring more convenience and ease to people’s lives. Just browse through the various app stores, and you’ll find some remarkable apps that you won’t believe you were living without.

Availability

TECNO and itel devices are available from select retail partners, including Ackermans, Dunns, Edgars, Game, HiFi Corp, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, PEP, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, TFG, Vodacom and Woolworths (availability varies per retailer, per store and per product, and while stocks last).

Keep an eye out for special offers that are currently available for both TECNO and itel devices, or those that are upcoming. These include POP 7, SPARK GO 2023, SPARK 10C, SPARK 10 5G, and SPARK 10 Pro for TECNO, and the P40 for itel. To find out more news about these, follow TECNO’s Facebook page and itel’s Facebook page.

Capturing the Things You Love in Life Through Mobile Photography @TECNOMobileSA @itel_SA

Hi Guys, 

With your phone being a constant companion in life, it is the perfect tool to capture and keep memories of special occasions and memorable moments

For most people, a quick scroll through the gallery on their phone will reveal just how much they use the camera to capture photos and videos. Whether you are a content creator or someone who just wants to snap memories of things around you in life, a phone is the perfect tool to do so. It is with you wherever you go, and nowadays the high quality of the camera setup on most phones makes for some incredible pictures and videos. Some might not be as Gram-worthy as others, but they help to remind you of the happy memories and moments in life. Here are some tips from TECNO and itel about how to get the most out of mobile photography.

Let the Tech do the Work for You

You don’t have to be a photography expert to take quality pictures and videos. The technology contained in the mobile camera setup does a lot of, if not all the work for you. One such example is TECNO’s SPARK 10 Pro, which boasts a 32MP front camera with a three-tier adjustable brightness flashlight so that you’re able to capture stunning selfies no matter where you are or the lighting conditions around you. There are also numerous settings and filters that you can choose from to enhance your pictures and videos. Play around with these to see what results you can achieve.

Find the Right Setting

Just as important as the tech behind photos and videos is the content and location where you shoot them. The right background and setting can naturally enhance their appeal and beauty without too much effort. When you are at a venue check out the options you have and choose one that is going to help your photos and videos pop! Something vibrant, colourful or quirky that will be attention grabbing.

Back-Up With Cloud Storage

Even though TECNO and itel phones have enough storage space for pictures and videos, for added peace of mind it is recommended that you backup these with cloud storage. If something does happen to your phone (think lost, stolen, broken), your pictures and videos will still be accessible as they are in the cloud. There are various options to choose from, some free and some paid-for, but this is a valuable resource to take advantage of.

Watch Tutorials to Learn More

There is no shortage of tutorials around mobile photography on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Google. Everything from framing, unpacking technical settings, and choosing the right content, to behind-the-scenes tips, and creative ways to create content, there’s plenty of teachings and inspiration to draw from. Browse through these and learn about different ways to shoot content that you may not have thought about before, or new things about the tech that you aren’t too familiar with.

More Than Just Photos and Videos

You may not realise it, but your mobile camera isn’t for just taking photos and videos. You can also use it to scan documents, and TECNO’s camera setup has Google Lens incorporated into it, which has several functions. These include helping you with homework, finding more information about products, and translating documents. Simply scan your camera over the document or product and watch as more information becomes available.

Availability

TECNO devices are available from select retail partners, including Ackermans, Dunns, Edgars, Game, HiFi Corp, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, PEP, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, TFG, Vodacom and Woolworths (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Keep an eye out for special offers that frequently happen for both TECNO and itel, which bring quality and reliable devices at an even better price. To find out more news about these, as well as to keep up with the latest goings-on, updates and competitions, follow TECNO’s Facebook page and itel’s Facebook page.

Making the Most of Autumn with Your Device @TECNOMobileSA @itel_SA

Hi Guys, 

As we move into Autumn, now’s the time to explore and adventure more. With your phone by your side as you go, here’s how you can make the most out of the change of seasons, with cooler weather on the way

As Autumn arrives, the weather starts to cool down. Now is the time for you to enjoy both outdoor and indoor activities more, with less of the heat. Your phone will be with you wherever you go, and there are many ways to use it to enhance your experiences. Here are some suggestions from TECNO and itel to make the most of Autumn.

Capture the Beauty of the Changing Season

With Autumn comes leaves changing to magnificent colours. Oranges, reds and yellows create a picturesque scene worthy of being captured by photo and video and shown off on social media. A walk in your local park or going on a hike (if you prefer longer distances and have the fitness to do so) will reveal beautiful scenes to you. The best part is that the scenery doesn’t move, allowing you time to plan and capture the perfect picture or video to highlight the breathtaking colours that come with the change of season. Play around with the camera settings and features available on your device (which TECNO phones have many of) to allow the tech to do most of the work for you when it comes to capturing content.

Embark on a New Adventure

There are many places and things to explore in the world around you, and they don’t necessarily have to cost a lot. Browse through Google Maps or simply Google Search to find places of interest that you haven’t visited before and then plan an outing. Perhaps its an educational trip to a museum or national heritage site, or a stroll through a park checking out the birdlife, or even something as simple as a coffee at a quirky café. Both TECNO and itel phones come pre-loaded with Google Mobile Services, which makes this exercise easier.

Try Something New in the Kitchen

With family and friends coming around to your home for an Easter get-together, or simply just coming to visit, why not try making something new for them to eat and drink. Autumn fruits include apples, avocados, bananas, figs, grapes and much more, and this season is the perfect time for you to whip up a new treat. And who can forget about the Autumn favourites pumpkin and squash! Use Google to look up Autumn recipes on your phone (and you can store them for future reference on your phone as well), or search through the many cooking apps available on app stores (including TECNO and itel’s Palm Store, or Google Play), and fall in love with seasonal cooking.

Binge Watch your Favourite Series and Movies

With the cooler weather coming, perhaps you don’t want to venture outdoors. Why not stay in and enjoy your chosen form of entertainment. Watching your favourite movies and series has never been easier on your phone. Multiple streaming apps allow you access to them, and the best part is that you can take them with you wherever you go. Like mobile gaming, which may be more of your thing when it comes to entertainment. Browse through the app stores and explore the thousands of available apps. You never know what you will find.

Availability

TECNO and itel devices are available from select retail partners, including Ackermans, Dunns, Edgars, Game, HiFi Corp, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, PEP, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, TFG, Vodacom and Woolworths (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Keep an eye out for special offers that frequently happen for both TECNO and itel, which bring quality and reliable devices at an even better price.

Customise and Personalise Your TECNO Device to Reflect Your Style and Tastes @TECNOMobileSA @itel_SA

Hi Guys, 

Despite many people having the same smartphone model, each device can be unique, thanks to customisable settings that can be used to personalise the device for an individual to reflect their style and tastes

From wallpapers and themes to fonts, ringtones and layouts, there are plenty of ways for you to customise and personalise your phone. It’s a reflection of your style, tastes, and interests, and even though you have the same phone model as others, it can definitely stand out from the rest. Here’s the lowdown on the customisable settings on TECNO phones that you can experiment with to make your phone uniquely you.

Static, digital and AI-generated wallpapers

The wallpaper on your home screen is your first canvas for creativity. Some people snap a picture, perhaps of loved ones or pets, and use that as their background, while others choose from the wide array of static wallpapers that come pre-loaded or that can be downloaded online. TECNO’s newest phones take it one step further with the AI wallpaper generator. You type in what you are looking to create, for example, a dog playing in a field, choose the style that you want the wallpaper in and watch as the generator works magic creating the wallpaper based on your idea. The possibilities are endless with the AI wallpaper generator, and you can change the wallpaper as often as you like to keep things fresh.

Create your own theme

In addition to creating wallpapers based on your ideas, on TECNO’s phones, you can also create your own themes. Choose from various elements including colours, lock screen home screen background wallpapers, icons, fonts, and much more to mix and match to create a phone theme that’s just right for you. Or you can simply choose from one of the pre-loaded ones if you need some more time to think more about all the elements or download some online.

Your favourite ringtone

The stereotypical ‘ring ring’ of a phone has mostly disappeared, replaced by all manner of ringtones, and even people’s favourite songs alerting them to incoming calls. It makes it easier to realise that it’s your phone that’s ringing, so that you don’t miss important calls, but is also an indication of your audio tastes. Who would believe how far ringtones have come from the days of polyphonic ones. While some come pre-loaded on the device, others can be downloaded from online to be used.

Customising the phone’s layout

Navigating around your device and accessing your frequently used apps and tools should be quick and easy, and the layout of the device can assist with this. However, this can also be used to customise and personalise the phone, as not everyone will necessarily enjoy the same layout. The first choice to be made is between gesture or three-button navigation, depending on your preference. Functions on TECNO phones such as multi-window, which allows for multiple floating windows on the screen at once to enhance the ease of multi-tasking, and Smart Panel, which adds a slide-out tab on the home screen to access all your frequently used and favourite apps, can also be used to customise your phone just the way you like it. There’s also Eye Care, which adjusts the brightness of your display, particularly if you have sensitive eyes.

Availability

Go and explore all these customising and personalising options and settings so that your phone is perfect for you (options and settings may vary depending on the device model). TECNO devices are available from select retail partners, including Ackermans, Dunns, Edgars, Game, HiFi Corp, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, PEP, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, TFG, Vodacom and Woolworths (availability varies per retailer per product and while stocks last).

Keep an eye out for special offers that frequently happen for TECNO phones, which bring quality and reliable devices at an even better price. To find out more news about these, as well as to keep up with the latest goings-on, updates, and competitions, follow TECNO’s Facebook page.

TECNO Brings POP 7 to South Africa @TECNOMobileSA #TecnoPop7

Hi Guys, 

The very affordable phone packed with impressive tech

While all eyes might be on TECNO’s SPARK 10 Series devices, which recently launched in South Africa, another TECNO device that is becoming available in the country deserves just as much attention.

This is the POP 7, and despite being very affordable (priced at a recommended retail price of R1,799), it includes some impressive features and specs for a device in this price range.

Packed With Impressive Tech

A large storage capacity of 64GB means you never run out of space for all your favourite apps or those pictures and videos you have taken. Your viewing experience is also enhanced to the max with POP 7 boasting a large 6.6-inch HD+ display.

To boost security, as well as increase ease of accessing your device, POP 7 comes with a biometric fingerprint sensor. This can also be used to authenticate online payments that you make with your device.

Memory Fusion for Lag-Free Experiences

POP 7 also features TECNO’s Memory Fusion Technology. This technology draws unused read-only memory (ROM) and channels it for random access memory (RAM) operations. This enhances the device’s multi-tasking capacity, allows for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieves frequently accessed files and apps, and stabilises the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life.

Hi Guys, 

SPARK 10 5G from TECNO Brings the Speed

The choice of new devices that are available to South Africans from TECNO continues to grow, with SPARK 10 5G being the latest added to the list.

This comes after the arrival of SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10C, SPARK GO 2023, and POP 7 in the country.

The SPARK 10 5G, now available in South Africa, is all about speed; bringing faster internet browsing, less lag with online activities, and low latency when it comes to connectivity. This means that scrolling, posting on social media, online gaming, streaming your favourite movies and series, meetings, connecting with family and friends, and other activities you use your phone for are seamless and effortless.

Dive into a world of high-speed connectivity and experience faster upload and download speeds, a major positive for anyone who uses their phone for pretty much everything in their life.

More Than Simply 5G

It’s not only the 5G capability that makes TECNO’s SPARK 10 5G an attractive option for South Africans, as the device comes with other impressive features and specs.

These include a 6’6-inch HD screen that offers an amazing viewing experience for all your favourite content and mobile games; a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, which goes from zero to 50% charged in just 50 minutes thanks to an 18W in-the-box fast charger; the latest Android 13 software; and storage capacity of 64GB ROM.

The device’s camera setup is also something to talk about, with a 50MP rear camera complemented by an 8MP selfie camera. The rear camera’s pro mode allows you to manually adjust settings such as aperture, white balance and shutter speed to bring out the best in your photography skills. Or you can let the technology adapt automatically to ensure every photo is vibrant with natural colours and skin tones when capturing memorable moments in your life. As with other cameras in the SPARK 10 Series range, the 8MP selfie camera setup features a flashlight with three adjustable brightness levels, ensuring that you can capture the best selfies no matter where you are or the lighting conditions around you.

Another standout feature of the SPARK 10 5G, like all the other SPARK 10 Series devices, is TECNO’s Memory Fusion. This technology draws unused read-only memory (ROM) and channels it for random access memory (RAM) operations. This enhances the device’s multi-tasking capacity, allows for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieves frequently accessed files and apps, and stabilises the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life.

The TECNO SPARK 10 5G is available from select TECNO retail partners including Vodacom stores, Game, and Edgars (availability varies per retailer and while stocks last); and is priced at a recommended retail price of R5,499.

#Johannesburg Movie Lovers having Gala Time @Sterkinekor Eastgate

Hi Guys, 

Movie lovers are having their wishes fulfilled as the new, state-of-the-art Ster-Kinekor cinema complex at Eastgate has opened its doors. The complex, now situated on the roof level of the shopping centre, houses an IMAX® theatre, two luxurious Cine Prestige 3D cinemas and seven Ster-Kinekor cinemas, two of which are 3D-ready.

Two lounge areas, one exclusively for SK Club members – the SK Club Lounge, offers customers the perfect place to relax with family and friends, both before and after the movie, while exciting new catering offerings, including a range of Pizza Hut pizzas, will satisfy any movie-watching hunger pangs.

“As the country’s leading cinema chain, we are delighted to offer movie fans in Johannesburg and surrounding areas some of the world’s most advanced cinemas. At our wonderful new site here on the rooftop at Eastgate, all ten cinemas feature the latest in digital projection technology, resulting in crystal clear images and perfect surround sound, and luxury cinema seating to enjoy that special big screen experience. All of this will ensure that our audiences enjoy ‘Great Moments at their Greatest’ each time they visit our Eastgate cinemas,” says Wanda Matandela, CEO of Ster-Kinekor Theatres.

Ster-Kinekor has a host of special treats and innovations in store for movie lovers at Eastgate.

Cine Prestige luxury…

These include the two ultra-luxurious Cine Prestige cinemas. Cine Prestige is the ‘business-class’ of cinema, and epitomises film-viewing heaven and pure luxury rolled into one. The two 39-seater Cine Prestige cinemas share an exclusive VIP Lounge area where both tickets and catering can be purchased. Here, customers can order a selection of delicious gourmet platters, coffees, desserts and cakes, the mandatory soft drink and popcorn and, as a new addition, a selection of Fairview wines and craft beers (only served to patrons aged 18 years and older). Customers can also pre-order any of these items to be served to them by the Cine Prestige waiters at their seats inside the cinema.

The large, red leather seats inside the cinemas are fully-reclinable at the touch of a button, and ooze lavish comfort. Each chair has a snack tray for the platters and refreshments, and also includes another Ster-Kinekor first: a refrigerated cup-holder.

SK Club Lounge

If you are a member of Ster-Kinekor’s loyalty programme, SK Club, you have the use of your very own exclusive lounge area – the SK Club Lounge. Here, members can relax and enjoy a range of delicious snacks and drinks from a dedicated catering counter. Here they can order a selection of imported Austrian coffees, desserts, delicious slices of cake to a range of Pizza Hut pizzas including a new Choc Dessert pizza, and frozen yoghurt. For the over-18s, select wines from Fairview Estate and a selection of craft beers can be enjoyed, both before and after the movie.

Catering self-service style

At the self-service catering terminals, customers can order their snacks and combos, and make a payment, before proceeding to the catering counter to collect their order. The introduction of this technology puts the power of choice in the hands of our customers. The self-service terminals provide our customers with a seamless experience when buying movie tickets and snacks, before entering the cinema to sit back and enjoy the latest blockbuster on our big screens.

“An exciting new addition to the catering offering at Ster-Kinekor Eastgate is a range of pizzas from Pizza Hut. There is a choice of eight different toppings available in small and large sizes, including an exotic Choc Dessert pizza to add a sweet touch to your movie date!” comments Matandela.

Loyalty programmes

Movie-goers also enjoy all the benefits and discounts available through membership of Ster-Kinekor and its partners’ loyalty programmes: the SK CLUB, Discovery Vitality and Edgars Club.

Joburg-based IMAX fans can now enjoy the world’s most immersive cinematic experience with the opening of the 375-seater IMAX® theatre, which forms part of the new Ster-Kinekor complex.

#Lumia apps to spoil Mom #MothersDay #MakeitHappen

Hi Guys,

Mother’s Day is coming up soon and I thought to share some apps to help you make your mom feel like she really is the best mom in the world. We also encourage Dads to lend a hand in making the day even more special. Mother is the supreme power and she will remain the core of our existence so no matter what small or big you can do for her, never leave it on later! Do it right now! #MakeitHappen

Zomato
If you want to treat mom for breakfast or brunch on Sunday morning, we highly recommend downloading the Zomato app. It has an impressive directory of restaurants in South Africa which includes, contact details, full menu, operating hours, directions, and most importantly, user-generated reviews. Check out Zomato Collections to find the ideal, indulgent spot for mom. Cities covered are Cape Town, Durban, Garden Route, Hartbeespoort, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Richards Bay.

Allrecipes 

If you want to go a step further and pull out all the stops, try making a meal from scratch. One of the best resources online, with over 50 000 options is Allrecipes. It has a community of more than 40 million cooks. Sift for ideas by cuisine, ingredient, dish type, etc; recipes include photos, nutritional information, or step-by-step video instructions.

Edgars
Spoil mom with her favourite perfume, beauty products or even clothes by browsing first on the Edgars app. Use the app to see if the product or correct size item is available at your nearest store. Once you order it, you can have the product delivered to your closest branch.

PhotoCollage
If you live away from mom, one of the best personalised messages you can send are photos of you together. Download the PhotoCollage app, which is free, and start putting your special moments together in one picture. There are a variety of layouts to choose from, including wallpapers and photo walls.

Simfy Africa (Free)

A really nice surprise would be to create a music playlist of mom’s favourite songs. Giving you instant access to more than 27 million tracks, Simfy Africa offers the ultimate music experience on the move. Sign up for Simfy Africa with your Lumia and enjoy a free 3-month subscription worth R170. Once you’re done creating her playlist, just save it for offline listening so she wouldn’t need an internet connection to listen to it, from anywhere!

Mango (Free) Mango and Microsoft celebrate launch of the Mango app with R 1 flights. The app is available for all devices operating Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 operating system. In celebration of the app launch, the airline has made Windows exclusive fares available from R 1 for a limited time (Terms & Conditions do apply). If you live away from mom download this app and book a flight and surprise her. Offer is limited to the first 10 000 seats! 

 

Have a great day with your creator who have and always will support you throughout her life. Make this one special for her and cherish the memories of being with her! 

Cheers!!!
