Be it mogodu, some fluffy pap and chakalaka, a spicy bunny chow or the legendary kota, we love our food and how it allows us to express ourselves. Best of all, we love to share it.

The White Star Sowetan Flavours of Africa campaign launch was the epitome of these ideas. It was an afternoon of celebrating the beauty of culture, community and the flavours that unite us. Foodies, celebrities and the White Star Miss Soweto finalists gathered to share stories of inspiration, food memories and recipes — all while enjoying a menu inspired by White Star and designed to reflect the rich tapestry of our country and continent.
