🔥 JOZI FOODSBURG TOUR. Come taste Fordsburg with me! 🔥
Eat. Walk. Discover. Repeat.
Spoil your mom - moms join for R100!
Don’t miss one of Joburg’s most flavour-packed walking tours — where history, culture, and serious food collide in the heart of Fordsburg.
🍬 We kick off sweet at Shalimar Delights, one of the biggest traditional Indian sweetmeat supermarkets in Jozi (think fudge-like confections you cannot resist).
🚶🏽‍♂️ From there, we walk the vibrant streets of Fordsburg, uncovering stories of migration, resistance, and community:
🎨 Lilian Rd Studios & the stunning mosaic by Hannelie Coetzee
🍺 Archie’s Dive Bar — cold beers, polony sandwiches, and local legend vibes
🛍️ Oriental Plaza — iconic shopping and the powerful history of forced removals
🕌 Hamidia Masjid, one of Joburg’s oldest mosques, linked to Mahatma Gandhi’s passive resistance movement
🌍 Then… we eat. A lot.
