Want to know where to get a kota in Soweto? Growing up in the townships exposes you to unique South African cuisine. The kota is a street food derived from the word “quarter” and found in almost every corner in townships around the country.
A basic kota is essentially a hallowed quarter of a bread loaf stuffed with polony, viennas, achar, cheese and slap chips. Because we love our authentic street food, we went out and found some of the best places you can get a delicious kota in Soweto.
