Xhosa cuisine: the dishes and traditions

African ancestors continue to give Africans a shared and personal sense of self-affirmation, identity and unfettered belonging.

Zulu cuisine is still very much influenced by tradition and its celebration of history and a commitment to culture.

As a nation that boasts about its rich culture, the Basotho can trace their origins to the pre-historic age.

The Tsonga people are a diverse group of tribes that include the Shangaan, Thonga, Tonga, Vandzawu, VaTshwa, Vakalanga and Valoyi to name a few.

The Ndebele of South Africa constitute one group of people whose identity has survived precarious conditions and existential crisis under the weight of changing power dynamics of internal and external factors from pre-colonial to present times.
