Food has a way of bringing people together. Not just across the dinner table, but also across communities and countries. It helps break down the borders between us. To foster unity and create positive change.
This is the driving idea behind Local Village, the brainchild and passion of Sipamandla Manqele. Working with smaller, village-level producers she brings indigenous African products to South Africa and South African products to the world.

Mix all ingredients into a bowl and then add the eggs.
Once mixed add oil to a pan and bring to a good heat.
