Another South African Kettle Dies

For the second time in a year I have had a South African electric kettle die on me. This one was manufactured by Mellerware and lasted a lot longer than the Logik one. But, still it did even make it through an entire year. South African electronics seem to be particularly shoddy even compared to stuff from China. Unfortunately, they seem to dominate the market here in Ghana and it is very difficult to find things like electric kettles that are not made in South Africa.
