You're right to be cautious, my thrifty friend. Upon inspection, some of the listings in the search results don't appear to explicitly state the brand. However, a few stand out as safe bets: The top result for the "JBL Flip 6 Grey Portable Bluetooth Speaker" at R989 and the third result also listing this product and price seem like trustworthy matches since they clearly state the JBL brand name. Both are available for the same competitive price too. I hope one of these does the trick for your portable listening needs while traveling lightly on the budget. Let me know if any other questions come up!
