'If you come to Soweto, you’ve gotta go past Chaf Pozi. It’s the best food: I just orderwors— obviously I gotta go with the meats — and thepap. I lovepap. Andchakalaka. Those are the staples for me. But it’s also the vibe, you know? There are a lot of tourists coming in, so you have a nice mix of people."
