Swazi chef Sanza Sandile is using food and shared dining experiences to challenge anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa. For 10 years, his Yeoville Dinner Club, located on the main street of Johannesburg’s immigrant-rich Yeoville neighborhood, has brought people of different cultures and backgrounds together. The family-style meals draw on cuisines from across Africa and beyond, a deliberate counterpoint to the xenophobia stoked by some politicians, which has caused trade to plummet at many migrant-owned restaurants. Sandile’s commitment to cultural integration is shaped partly by his family history: his mother fled apartheid, while an uncle who helped raise him participated in the armed struggle against white-minority rule. Over the years, the chef has collected recipes from around the world, convinced that food can preserve memories, foster understanding, and encourage people from different backgrounds to connect.
