Eziko Restaurant in the Langa
Township is not only one of the best restaurants in the area, it is also one of the finest examples of how to make a difference. By
eating at Eziko you, besides having a great meal, contribute to the
township of Langa!
Eziko Restaurant in the Langa Township, on Washington Street
across from Tiger's Place, is linked to the Eziko Cooking and Catering
School. The school was established in 1996 by Victor Mguqulwa. His
mission was to do something about the high unemployment rate in Langa,
by teaching them how they, in a sustainable way, can change their
situation. Mguqulwa strongly believes in the theory 'do not give people
the fish but rather teach them how to fish.
This all resulted in an organization that provides people with
life and career-oriented skills in cooking and catering, to help them
find employment so can provide for themselves and their families.
Students are carefully selected gain some basic experience in
the Eziko Restaurant, which specializes in African traditional food.
For lunch CapeTownmagazine.com had one portion of grilled chicken and a
portion of lamb stew, both with samp (beans and corn kernels),
vegetables and steamed traditional bread. And of course a jug of home
made Ginger beer. Our verdict? Two Thumbs Up!
Eziko restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and also for dinner. If you want to go Eziko
Restaurant by yourself, please contact the management for transport
arrangements: + 27 (0) 21 694 0434.
