Imagine it’s a Saturday, you want to do something different with your family. But the problem is you miss chicken makaya and maybe you also miss brown sadza (sadza rezviyo) too. Also inadvertently your teenage daughter wants something exotic, and she heard that Moroccan food is delicious. But well, this is Zimbabwe, so hey, rather just stay at home. Go ahead, JUST IMAGINE, ‘WHAT IF?’.
Now also imagine there was a place you could get all that and more at a very great prices that offer value for money. A place where you could get farm produce fresh from the village. Have kids on a jumping castle. Get a taste of not just traditional Zimbabwean dishes, but several traditional dishes from different African countries all in one place.
YES! An African Village Market and Food Court plus Play Centre rolled into one. Namibian cuisine, Swaziland, Botswana, Moroccan and even Nigerian cuisine all in one place. It’s been long in planning and yes its happening. ZONFA and its partners are setting up an ethnic village market place with Mbare prices but Hollywood service. You can buy a ‘roadrunner’ chicken to take home after a sumptuous dinner in any country’s kitchen of your choice. That’s not all, You can also be part of it. They are looking for daring & innovative, entrepreneurs, to run the different kitchens and other businesses.
