Google Play Gift Cards Go Live In South Africa

Google Play gift cards are now available at the bottom of the world. No, not Antarctica-look up a bit. There you go, South Africa. In the most southern of African nations, gift cards are starting to appear on store shelves in increments of R 150, R 250, and R 450. Residents can rush to their neighborhood shop and pick one up for the low price of, well, any of the three numbers I just listed.

The site shows that these cards should be on sale at Checkers and Pick n Pay. Once you or a recipient swipes the card into a Google account, the funds are available to pay for apps and whatever other digital content is available in the Play Store. These cards make for decent gifts, and they're a way to translate physical cash into a currency the Play Store can understand. Either way, they're nice to have around.

Born and raised in the rural South, Bertel knows what it's like to live without 4G LTE - or 3G, for that matter. The only things he likes sweeter than his tea are his gadgets, and while few objects burn more than a metal phone on a summer day, he prefers them that way anyway.
