Market for Traditional South African Meals

I have noticed a couple of restaurant/ take-away franchises recently that sell South African meals! What a great concept - Boerewors, pap, tomato and onion relish, corn on the cob, mash, simple food but food that is loved by South Africans (Im getting hungry just thinking about all of that!).

Ayobayo and Pantsula Bites are two new franchises focussing on this exciting niche and we're confident they will do well! Keep a lookout for new outlets opening around the country and be sure to let us know your thoughts. If you are interested in owning one of these franchises, log on to FranchiseFinder.co.za
