In the heart of the continent, flavors burst,
Of tastes, rich and diverse,
Each dish a story,
Every bite a journey.

From the smoky jollof rice of West Africa,
To the savory tagine of the North,
Aromas weave through markets, calling us home.

Suya on the streets, spiced and grilled,
A warm taste of Nigeria,
Where laughter and food intertwine.

In Ethiopia, injera spreads like a canvas,
Scooping up doro wat and lentils,
Communal meals,
Hands and hearts together.

Bunny chow from Durban's kitchens,
Hollowed bread brimming with curry,
Sharing heat and the heritage,
In every bite.

Ugali and nyama choma in East Africa,
Simple,
Hearty,
connecting us,
As stories flow with the evening sun.

From the coasts,
The gift of seafood,
Tilapia and prawns grilled to perfection,
Oceans' bounty, a feast for the soul.

In the South, bobotie blends sweet and spice,
An explosion of flavors,
Cape Malay traditions,
Uniting past and present on a plate.

Across the savannas, the fragrance of braai,
Meat sizzling over open flames,
Bringing a gathering,
Under starlit skies.

Kelewele's sweet and spicy kick,
Plantains fried to golden delight,
Real Ghanaian treat,
Bringing smiles wide.

Under the shade of the acacia trees,
Pots bubble with life,
Soups and stews,
Each region and their own pride,
Sharing warmth,
Memories,
And ties.

A taste of Africa,
A celebration of us,
Culinary heritage rich and sweet,
Each meal a bridge,
Binding hearts as one.
