This year the festival is back, bigger and better than before, with more kota businesses showing off their food on the 3 and 4 September at the Soweto Cricket Oval, which is also known as the Elkah Cricket Stadium.

The Soweto Kota Festival has over the years assisted kota businesses in Gauteng townships to grow, expand and create employment.

This year the festival is back, bigger and better than before, with more kota businesses showing off their food on the 3 and 4 September at the Soweto Cricket Oval, which is also known as the Elkah Cricket Stadium.

The event’s organiser, Sidwell Tshingilane, told Vutivi News that the festival, which was first held in 2017, was an important platform to not only grow kota businesses, but also the township economy at large. It also helped elevate the status of the kota, which is quarter loaf of bread hollowed out and filled again with ingredients.

“When we started, we started out with a few kota businesses who were owned by young people,” he said.
