South Africa: Deputy Minister Tokozile Xasa - Mzanzi International Culinary Festival

press release

As we celebrate Africa Day, we celebrate a cultural fusion and explosion of flavour. Africa's food blends the traditions of many cultures and influences. Food is central to many things that we do as a nation and a continent. We celebrate with food, we go through bereavement with food, we negotiate over food and we build families with food. Food feeds the soul and is the single great unifier across cultures.

South Africa is fast becoming a culinary hotspot. Not only do we boast world-class tourism products but we are also firmly establishing ourselves with our diverse lifestyle offerings. Culinary tourism is a subset of Cultural tourism and contributes significantly to the tourism experience which promotes cultural diversity and social cohesion.
