If you navigate to Kalahari.com, you will be greeted with a message that the site is currently unavailable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are performing essential site maintenance,\u201d the error page says.<\/p>\n

However, earlier this month Kalahari confirmed that it will be shutting up shop at the end of April 2015 following its merger with Takealot. All products requiring a supplier lead time were delisted on 20 April 2015.<\/p>\n

A customer service representative in Kalahari\u2019s call centre has confirmed that the Kalahari site is not just down for maintenance, but has been closed for good.<\/p>\n

Kalahari clients who shopped on the site after September 2013, have an e-book on Kalahari, or have account credit will have their accounts transferred to Takealot<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Takealot said that all outstanding orders placed through the Kalahari website will be delivered by Kalahari.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny changes in delivery will be communicated to you beforehand,\u201d Takealot said.<\/p>\n

The Takealot site was also down at the time of publication, and a spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment.<\/p>\n
