When Stage 6 load shedding hits, we have to cope with blackouts of more than four hours, and among things, the impact that has on the contents of our fridges.

But what of the fridges and freezers in supermarkets - what plans do the retailers have to maintain the all-important cold chain?

Remember the Tidee airfryer debacle?

In February this year, we told the story of the one-man online airfryer retailer who burst onto the e-commerce scene in March last year, and appears to have had a good opening run, if the early HelloPeter reviews are to be believed.

But from November the reviews switched dramatically from five-star to one-star and the complaints started arriving in my inbox. Scores of people who paid just R939 for a Tidee Airfryer Max airfryer, apparently marked down from R4000 haven’t received them, and it appears they still haven’t.
