Pollsmoor prison restaurant serves the Cape Town public food. Milisuthando Bongela reflects on the ethics of running a prison restaurant.
The most expensive meal at Pollsmoor prison’s restaurant, Idlanathi, is R60. Spare ribs and chips. Pollsmoor prison has a restaurant that is open to the public.
Eat With Us. Come and see the caged. Observe us from your table. Taste the dangerous flavours. We love to serve you. 1652. 1913. 1961. 1994. We need to serve you.
The cheapest is a cheese sandwich for R6. Don’t follow the money. That’s distasteful.
Nelson Mandela stayed there, so you can enjoy a meal “close to history’’.
“If you’re brave enough, ask your waiter what he’s in for.’’ LOL.
NO TIPPING ALLOWED.
