Are you sitting down?
Most South Africans have learned to cope with load shedding, but nobody, and we mean nobody, should be asked to handle this trip! Hellmann’s mayonnaise has announced that due to ‘high inflationary import costs’ the creamy pillar of our existence will no longer be available in SA stores.
“It’s hard to say goodbye to delicious Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. But, due to high inflationary import costs, we will regretfully be discontinuing Hellmann’s in South Africa until further notice. A big thanks to our loyal fans for all the mayo love over the years.”

According to IOL, Unilever, the distributor of Hellmann’s said that Hellmann’s has been making the product for 100 years, although I have it on good authority that a large part of the Groot Trek happened simply because the Boere heard there was Hellmann’s Mayonnaise north of the Cape Colony.
Yes, it’s a disaster bigger than Jacob Zuma’s presidency. Or Cyril’s for that matter.
Whether the sight of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise disappearing from our shelves will finally break the spirit of an increasingly gatvol nation, is unsure. One thing is certain, poached eggs with a side of Cross & Blackwell just won’t cut it.
To Unilever SA: If we give you Lindiwe Sisulu, can we keep Hellmann’s Mayo? At least South Africans like Hellmann’s.
