[@lebogangn9495]

As a South African youth from Alexandra, I'm proud of Zanele and Andrew for reaching for their dreams plus representing Kasi (Township) food culture well 💚 When you're born in a township, the struggles around you seem normal. It's only when you go outside of your township you realise there's actually a problem. It then hits you that there's more to life and you have the potential to do better. A number of people are in fact defeated in townships especially where I come from, Alexandra. Not because people don't want better but because of the environment itself. It takes a lot of mental, emotional, physical and financial fight to push through these barriers left by the Apartheid regime plus created by ourselves unconsciously. There's so much potential and untapped talent in Townships. Side note: I'm actually going to try the Mogodu recipe as instructed 🍲

[@german18072]

im not feom there, from another country with the some struggles. i was thinking exctly that, how brave those two are, specially because they didnt just leave the neighbourg.

Andrew is an amazing guide for this video!! He explains the food and the culture so well! I like how he keeps it real and tells it like it is. I agree that struggle and scarcity in a region truly brings out the flavor in food.

[@nehemiahsikhosana8150]

As a South African who has watched this show for some years, I’m glad the team conducted thorough research. We are a very diverse nation with a history of division. Unfortunately, that division has prevented us from exploring different places and cultures within our own country. I think this series may be for South Africans to also get a glimpse of what’s out there (in here). I’m already excited to go to Alex😂

This tradition is continued in the state of Georgia in the US. African Americans eat the clay or chalk. Mainly pregnant women crave it. An alternative is also corn starch.

[@ShaqleeToine10.02]

It's mostly pregnant women...but also most Africans tend to have issues with a lack of Iron...so yeah this is our "supplement"

[@WayneKitching]

I'm South African and was not aware of calabash chalk until I saw this video. I think it is more common in the Joburg townships, because there are lots of immigrants from other parts of Africa. I know a Ghanaian, another Ghanaian family, a Nigerian, two Ugandans and many Zimbabweans. Before I moved to Joburg, I didn't know any foreigners, as I lived in a small city that wasn't that attractive to foreigners.

I'm from KZN in South Africa we have different colors of clay some are brownish and some are white

[@thapelomakgoba5096]

They are everywhere in the country, females just enjoy them,I don't know why so much addiction to it

[@justicemaake684]

How Sonny is able to break barriers and to pronounce names is underrated. The man is a genius at what he does as he goes beyond just reviewing food but understanding the tradition and culture of the people he's talking to. On this episode he went where I'm sure 99% of South African "celebrities" or even politicians have never set their foot on and he's probably the only white person who has been there.

[@chickenburger779]

what would be your definition of "understanding the tradition and culture"? I think you need a lot more time and relationships with the people to "understand" it, if that is even possible.

[@HarveyMushman]

Super friendly and positive vibes. Thanks Sunny and Andrew!

[@derbyngwenya7466]

Sonny you are the best 🙌 love your sense of humor and the way you respect different cultures in the world

[@JeanetteMoseneke]

Well done Andrew...you did a great job being our country's food ambassador 👏🏽

[@fransnapes1425]

Thank you sonny for my beautiful country experience 🇿🇦💗

[@JR-pf1op]

Hey Sonny, i have been living here all my life, proud of our country and our diverse cultures. That being said, what you have uncovered gives all of us a different view of the cultures and cuisines within our beautiful country. Thank you so much for considering SA as a destination of choice for your exploration of food cuisine.

[@wolfmanxxl8221]

You're not diverse. SA is a $hithole and everyone knows why.

"The harder you work the luckier you become." Those are some of the wisest words I have ever heard.

[@KwaJobe]

You've honestly picked the best people for the South African leg of this series. Lebo was fantastic and now Andrew and Zanele. I don't know Zanele but I know Andrew and Lebo. Lebo has tons of personality and TV experience so she's entertaining. Andrew is a fantastic chef (you gotta try his food chicken place) and so so passionate about Johannesburg and knows a lot about the City. Very proud of what Zanele has also achieved and all the hard work she's put behind her business. Great content guys ❤. You have a new fan Side bar... 11:14 ithumbu is intestines, not sheep's head

Another great video Sonny and the team! Andrew is a great and down-to-earth co-host aswell! I appreciate how you guys make content about less fortunate/underdeveloped communities and give some exposure on the topics. It is sometimes sad but humbling knowing I was lucky enough to be born in North America.

[@rainyrealestate]

I was lucky enough to be born in South Africa. We don't need your pity.

[@margotk538]

Andrew has a growth mindset and are willing to grow even in the most difficult environment. He’s right it’s hard to motivate others with a limited mindset to see beyond what’s happening around them.
