On Sunday, Ranbow, Chief, Sara, and I went to Mzoli’s Meat and to visit Chief’s granmama in Guguletu. At Mzoli’s, you go to a butcher counter and pick all the meat you want raw (my preference: a good cut of beef and lots of sausage). They put it in a bowl, and then you take it back to guys with a grill and wait in line for them to grill it up for you. The room gets SUPER smoky and crowded. When you get your bowl of meat, you bring it out to picnic tables where a DJ is playing lots of music.
Here’s Ranbow and I enjoying our meat cut-no forks and knives to be found!

Then we headed over to Chief’s granmama’s house, but we couldn’t find her or Chief’s brother, so we picked up a few of his friend and walked through Guguletu to Nyanga. Every single person stared hardcore at Sara and I-there are typically never non-black people in these townships. A little boy (maybe 3-4?) came up to Sara and seemed to be trying to get her cell phone from her pocket, but he was easily distracted when she took his hands and spun him around in a circle.
Friends of Chief seemed really excited that we were there. The fellow in the orange shirt asked him how he managed to get girls like us to Nyanga and said he wanted to marry us.
Here’s a shot of the ‘informal housing’ there from when we were leaving.
