Mine kitchens, hostels and canteens run cold rooms and big freezers for large numbers of workers, and contractors serving the shafts around Welkom, Odendaalsrus and Virginia keep chillers and water coolers going. In Thabong and the older suburbs, households rely on fridges and chest freezers bought for bulk meat, and spaza shops and taverns keep bottle coolers cold through hot, dusty summers.
