Surf meets turf at Godenfang, arguably the
best restaurant in Walvis Bay. In a restored
1930s home – fitted with original wooden
floors and dimmed lights – a menu of fresh
fish, seasonal veggies and prime meat
cuts cooked to perfection awaits. Not

The advent of new technologies has often raised
concerns that new, often more efficient ways of
doing things, will lead to job displacement. This

Saray Khumalo’s life, as documented in her
memoir My Journey to the Top of the World,
“starts much like the typical life of most African
children being raised by their grandparents in
a village, sharing a home with many cousins,
aunts and uncles.” What makes Saray’s story

Any kind of mushroom and any sort of pasta

white wine will do the trick, especially if the
cook enjoys a glass herself.
At dawn, when a blanket of mist hangs above the Kavango and nearby villages, the Mashare berry picker’s day begins. She puts on protective, comfortable clothing and hitch hikes or walks to the farm. On a clearing around the fertigation

big tree where young and old would gather daily in the
shade of its branches to share the news of the day.
Intricately weaved fables, myths and traditions that bind
generations. A reminder of a time past and a longing for
things lost.
Raise your hand if you have been
mispronouncing the capital city of
South Korea. I know I have. That is, until the opening of Seoul Food in the seaside town of Swakopmund. Not only do they dish up authentic Korean cuisine – but the mouthwatering meals, generous portions and quality ingredients make this local take-out spot the place where soul-food dreams come true. Yes, Seoul is pronounced soul, and
with good reason. It’s truly food to
feed your soul.
