Tourism in South Africa currently generates an estimated US$8.3 billion per annum, and with the World Cup just around the corner this number is expected to grow dramatically in the next decade.

Sakhumzi Restaurant, founded by Sakhumzi Maqubela (38) in 2001, seeks to provide tourists an authentic taste of township culture by creating a restaurant that provides distinctively South African township specialties.
