posted that it now had a limited menu as a result of the rolling blackouts, it announced that it will be finding innovative ways to continue serving South Africans with full menu options during power outages.
South Africans have come to rely on fast-food outlets to provide supper during these power outages, but with the Eskom pushing load shedding to higher stages, a number of outlets were struggling to keep the stoves on and the fridges running. It was just after Christmas that KFC announced it was temporarily closing some of its restaurants and limiting the availability on a number of their customers’ favourite menu items.But now the outlet says it is looking at ways to work around load shedding and keeping its doors open to its regulars.
“We have over 600 KFC restaurants with backup generators, ensuring we are able to continuously serve our world-famous recipes. We are also actively working with some of our suppliers to ensure they have sufficient back up power.”An epic cluck up! – 10 million chickens had to be ‘disposed of’ because of load sheddingEarlier reports indicated that the country was experiencing a chicken shortage as a result of the power outages at slaughter houses and refrigeration facilities.
“The industry is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to urgently intervene and put actions in place to remedy the situation and prevent food security in terms of animal protein supply,” said its General Manager, Izaak Breitenbach.
