A trip to Soweto is incomplete without a taste of its mouth watering street food, or spykos. Of all the spykos treats to the try, the kota remains the unrivaled reigning queen of street food in Soweto. 

What is a kota you ask?  Pronounced ‘Ko-Ta’, it is a stuffed quarter loaf sandwich. The staple ingredients include a generous serving of slap chips and condiments. Menus at local stores of extra stuffing’s are generally available which allows buyers to build their desired sandwiches.
