Redi Tlhabi talks about African food on Al Jazeera’s new global talk show, South 2 North. Tlhabi gets perspectives from Professor Tim Noakes, award-winning chef Dorah Sithole and writer Justice Malala.
Tlhabi challenges Noakes, who became famous for advocating carbo-loading for sportsmen wanting to up their game, about his new high-fat diet. Sithole, author of Cooking from Cape to Cairo, which features recipes from more than 20 African countries that she visited, cooks up a storm in the studio. She discusses the rise of African cuisine globally, while Malala explains the ways in which food and politics intertwine and asks how diet shows the social disparities that face South Africa.
All this and much more air on South 2 North on Friday 1 February at 19h30 GMT and screen on Saturday 2 February at 14h30 GMT, Sunday 3 February at 4h30 GMT and Monday 4 February at 8h30 GMT.
