7 Colours
A meal that is generally cooked on Sundays in many households across Mzansi. It is coined as 7 colours because it comprises a lot of colourful ingredients; a mix of vegetables, starch and meat that make up various colours.
I went home last weekend and my highlight was the 7 colours oledi cooked.
