DRIVING down Albert Luthuli Ave in Tokyo Sexwale, Jeffreys Bay, on Friday afternoon you will discover the “local is lekker” vibe reverberating through the area.
Bongani Matole uses a plastic bag to swat away flies that may have any designs on the carcasses on a rustic table on the sidewalk.
He says his brother slaughters the poultry down the road.
At the vendor’s side is a smiling Beauty Maxegwana.
Just mere metres away, a variety of meat is sizzling away outside a small abode. The aroma draws one, and the young guys tending the fire, eagerly discuss the pork, beef, wors, tripe and lamb available.
As the sign on the short fence indicates, owner and chef Lungi supplies real food for passersby.
“If you want more formal food, you must go up the street to the tavern,” explains one young man.
Mouthwatering aromas waft down the street, confirming “local is lekker”.
