UPDATE | KFC hit by chicken shortage, with 70 outlets in Pretoria and KZN closed for now

KFC says around 70 of its stores are now temporarily closed as its chicken suppliers struggle with constant power outages. The fast-food outlet is struggling with a shortage of"chicken on the bone" supplies.There are more than 1 000 KFC outlets in the country, and 600 have back-up generators.

"However, some of our suppliers have experienced immense operational disruption due to consistent and intense load shedding throughout 2022," a spokesperson told News24."This means we are experiencing some constraints in our supply chain, which although currently limited, have impacted some of our restaurants."

KFC has warned that customers may see"limited availability" of some of its menu items due to load shedding. "Our chicken on the bone items have been impacted the most. We still however have a range of menu items available – including our burgers and wraps," a spokesperson said.

This is sad, and no intervention or consideration on government level as a reply? This shows zero sympathy, and less empathy from the GovernmentZA Quote: True compassion means not only feeling another’s pain but also being moved to help relieve it — Daniel Goleman

Out of 3 stores in our area, 2 are closed. Staff are there all day and they can't do anything.

Please fix eskom

I was at the KFC at Jan Smuts Ave on Monday and was advised that they have run out of chicken.

Colonel Sanders is not happy

I hope the now Operation Dudula will not blame on innocent immigrants, however people voted for ANC so people should try another party for 5 years if there’s no change or do the worst then they can change to another

Why not it joburg also That chicken is trash!!! Wish they can close for good. Anyway they don't employ South Africans

VernonNaidoo242 There was no chicken in all Vryheid KFCs on Saturday - it wasn’t load shedding.

Our local farmers can supply them with the chickens

Closed due to loadshedding. Not chicken shortage.

They're selling juvenile chickens 🐔anyway, this will give chickens the chance to grow to a proper size.

Bathong. Molato?

Here in Kokstad both DebonairsPizza and kfc were closed yesterday

Hey the syndicates at Eskom dont really care.

What has happened to our agriculture industry, particularly poultry industry

This is a clear indication of where we are on the slippery slope of a countries collapse.

Even limpopo is affected 🤐

Do you think useless de Ruyter cares about the damage Eskom has done? He did not care before he had resigned and most certainly will not now.

I'm happy America is losing on revenue I only feel bad for employees. Like in Russia the state should buy those franchise and rename the business

How many birds would KFC need per day? DM me I may have a solution

VernonNaidoo242 Did these fatties eat it all again?

could be a blessing in disguise for KFCSA , they could take advantage of this 'free time' for much needed training for some of they stuff...

Maybe this is the final straw for ANC voters

At least the beaches will be clean after new year

KFC statement said is due to Loadshedding not this lies you are feeding black people

People eating chicken so much they don't even have a chance to grow, that's why Bill Gates think we should eat insects...

KFCSA tell the nation what is really going on but to the shortage of chicken is a lie, rather a loadshedding yea

I have never seen a trader as perfect as Mrs JamesAlderson0 He knows how to analyse trade, and with his strategies he earned me so much profit. I made R200,000 with R20,000 in just 14 days days of trading with him. Why don't you check it out yourself. JamesAlderson0

your president.

Yho elilizwe ihleli nje kuyavalwa

So its chicken shortages

Certainly the bean counters KFC did the numbers before closing the 70 odd stores as reported. Isn’t December a season of braai and home cooked meals?

This is a crime against the cockroaches.

JulesMuny you okay

KFC short of imported chicken

Blame it on the oligopoly in the poultry market. A few white companies control the entire value chain

KFC is the biggest fast food franchise in the country. If they can't sustain their business and keep staff on, what is the outlook for small companies? 🤔

There goes more jobs.

Wait....I thought they closed.because of loadshedding. I NEED MY CHICKEN

Nice, thank the ANC!!
