AmaXhosa AseZimbabwe (Xhosa People of Zimbabwe) are a vibrant society predominantly located in the small settlement of Mbembesi and also within Gwatemba, Fort Rixon, Goromonzi, Msengezi, Makwiro and Marirangwe. In this video, we get to experience Umguyo which can be described as an initiation ceremony that ‘converts’ Xhosa boys into men. We also get to learn about the kind of food that’s consumed during this cultural practice.

~What Was Cooked and Brewed at the Cultural Ceremony:
» Umngqusho – Samp and Beans
» Pap – Isitshwala, Sadza, Ugali, Nshima
» Inkomo - Beef
» Ibokwe – Goat meat
» Umphokoqo – Crumbled maize meal
» Umqombothi - Amasese, Opaque Beer, Sorghum Beer
» Amahewu - Mahewu

~About Magriza Made Me Cook:
» Magriza is slang for uGogo (Grandmother in isiNdebele) and the name of the show is derived from Prince's inspiration for falling in love with cooking; his grandmother. The goal of MMMC is to document and serve Africa's diverse food culture, one dish at a time. We believe that Africa has got unique meals that ought to be talked about, and most importantly, cooked consistently. We believe in the values of Ubuntu, Respect, Creativity and Minimalism.
