As South Africa commemorates Heritage Month and Day in September, Channel Africa looks at Indigenous Knowledge Systems and foods that have made the Rainbow cuisine for a rainbow nation. A typical meal for a typical black family is known as ‘pap’ – and this has its origins in South Africa’s ancestors’ culture too; this fluffy porridge made from maize meal (complete with a stew gravy) is staple food, and variants of it have always been. But even before colonialism came a-knocking with alternative palates, meat was the centre and basis of any South African meal. We visit Freedom Park in Pretoria- a 52 hectare precinct that was constructed to tell the South African diverse political and cultural history.
