The Story Behind It

The Tale of Braai Boerewors with Chakalaka

Boerewors, "farmer's sausage," was developed by Dutch and Afrikaner settlers and is even regulated by South African law to guarantee a minimum meat content. Chakalaka, a spicy vegetable relish whose exact origin is murky but often linked to Johannesburg's mining townships, joins it at the braai, South Africa's communal barbecue tradition.
