Takealot: Where you can search but you will not find.

The search function on the website is not working and has not been working for some time now. Going by what I can find on Google it seems that this is a common issue experienced by many others. Messages are ignored, so I guess there is no intention to fix It. I always prefer to support local businesses, but how can I support Takealot over Amazon if I cannot search for something. I suppose I'll just have to switch to Amazon.
