The highly anticipated Soweto Kota Festival is just around the corner, and fans are in for a treat
as award-winning artist Mlindo the Vocalist is set to take the stage on September 7th. The
festival, which celebrates the beloved South African dish, Kota (also known as a bunny chow),
promises to be an unforgettable experience.
According to festival organizer Sidwell Tshingilane, the Kota holds a special place in South African culture. “We grew up eating Kota eKasi, it’s part of our culture,” he explains. The Kota has its roots in the apartheid era, where it served as an affordable meal option for students and workers on-the-go. Today, it remains a staple in townships across the country, with Soweto being the largest and most vibrant.
The Soweto Kota Festival is a celebration of this cultural icon, and what better way to do so than in the heart of Soweto itself? “There will be plenty of freebies, vouchers, and prize money from our sponsors,” Tshingilane promises. With top brands like Blue Ribbon, Thomson Meats, Lucky Star, and Sanlam on board, attendees are in for a treat.
