The restaurant explains the process: “Your slip will be placed on our pin board, and each Saturday, all the meals bought will be prepared and dropped off at these individuals.”
On the menu are fruits of the week for just R3, chicken stew and rice, pap and chicken livers and sandwiches—all filling, and all much cheaper than any menu prices many South Africans have seen for a long time so that more people can be fed.
