H I S T O R Y

Shisa Nyama sauce has its origins deeply rooted in the vibrant and diverse culinary heritage of the country. This flavourful sauce is a staple in South African cuisine and is often associated with the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the Shisa Nyama (which means “burn the meat” in Zulu) gatherings.

The dish is commonly prepared by the Zulu and Xhosa cultures, who are known for their expertise in grilling and barbecuing meat. The Shisa Nyama sauce is popular in various regions of South Africa, especially in the townships and urban areas, where it is

enjoyed as a communal meal during social gatherings and celebrations. The sauce is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meat, adding a spicy and tangy flavour that perfectly complements the smoky aroma of the barbecued dishes.
