Food going off in your fridge? Feeling some blackout rage coming on? Read up on what you can do to keep your life in order, your loved ones safe and your food fresh!

The Power Crisis in focus
Find out everything you need to know about the crisis facing South Africa's energy supply and how the country plans to fix the problem.



A ticking generator time bomb
Rolling blackouts have led to many members of the public purchasing generators - a purchase that introduces a life-threatening hazard into the home or workplace.



Blackout!
The longer the power's out during a blackout, the greater the risk of road accidents, falls, food spoilage and (in summer) heat-related illness. Stay safe with these common-sense tips next time you're plunged into darkness.


Blackout rage?
Outraged, stranded commuters set fire to three trains in Pretoria at the weekend. The term blackout rage is being bandied about, and a Pretoria psychologist says that's not at all surprising.


Don't be an energy hog
You're allowed to gripe about blackouts - if you're doing something to improve the situation yourself. These simple tips for summer energy saving cost nothing (they'll save you money) and don't require radical lifestyle changes. Keep your cool with these summer energy-saving tips.

Your carbon footprint
Last year the former US presidential candidate Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were awarded the Nobel Prize for peace. So how do you reduce your own carbon footprint to help save the planet?


Maintaining the food cold chain
Under "cold chain" is understood the whole distribution line of chilled or frozen food from raw material to final consumption. How can you make sure food stays safe when the lights go out?


Dangers that lurk in your fridge
Ever been blown away by foul-smelling, mould-growing leftovers when you open your fridge? Here's what to look out for if you're worried about food in your fridge.
