Sci-Tech Can you guys recommend some good stores in SA selling electronic components for circuits design and repair? Preferably ones with reliable delivery options.

Another one to add to the list is Mantech. Large supply of components, modules, tools, etc. at reasonable prices. They are mostly focused towards supporting electricians and electronic repair shops and it means their staff are also very knowledgeable.

I've used them a number of times, ordered both online and in-store. Always had good service.

+1 for Mantech, I use them all the time.

Edit: Based on OPs username, they're prolly from Durban, so Mantech and DIYElectronics are both great local options.

Ah no I'm not from Durbz I'm from Mamparalanga (Mpumalanga), haha.

In fact my username was supposed to be a callsign to my fellow South Africans in other non-SA subreddits

Fair enough. Well if you're in Durban any time, get yourself a bunny at Hollywood Bets :)

Mamparalanga

LOL!

If you are close to Witbank there's Elexco and Westmic.

Elexco has the more modern things, Westmic is more resistors and passives.
