FOOD: While Oprah still thinks it is normal to travel with her own bread and Avocados, Bonang Mathebula still can’t buy Ting at Woolworths, and K-Naomi admits to be a classy lady who prefers Pap and 7 colours dishes.

In a world of food, Avocados remain the one fruit or vegetable that makes certain charismatic appearances in momentous moments. Oprah had previously admitted to the public she loves bread, a video which had since become a social media meme. In this momentous moment with Trevor Noah, Oprah Winfrey opens up and breaks her silence on why she travels with her own Avocados and bread. Like things couldn’t be more ridiculous, in this interview with Trevor Noah, she says Avocados are ‘expensive’ before dying in laughter. This podcast is about giving merit and credit to Avocados, and their global impact not only with the food we eat but other products we use for hair, skin, and other cosmetics.

It perhaps All Boils Down To Pap, and it is everything Africans all have in common; porridge.

If you are in a different world reading this, in South Africa porridge is widely understood as Pap. In a world of Pap gets looked down upon, in The North, you have to stand your ground if you are going to publicly admit your relationship with Pap. However, Pap remains to make certain charismatic appearances in momentous moments.

Bonang’s knowledge about ‘Bogobe Ba Ting’ on Being Bonang was a moment of revelation that exposes porridge and its versitility in different African countries.

In her world of jets, emirates, G Wagons, unrealistic world tours, vacations, Rolls Royces, champagne, Distracting lingerie, and 2 bagged Previar Online luxury editorial covers, the South African woman with fans who sting like bees is called Bonang Matheba. In her Being Bonang reality show she publicly made it known she knows “Bogobe ba Ting”.

  BONANG BOGOBE BA TING KliberacheLawrence

If you are in a different world reading this, there’s a certain unique perspective that comes with association with Pap in certain South African North spaces that can make this a shocking discovery. In Bonang’s world of Sushi, and champagne glass photographs, her Instagram world is a Pinterest board far from realistic. Bogobe Ba Ting is a healthy soft porridge meal prepared with brewed porridge.  Most black people eat Bogobe Ba Ting in the morning in South Africa, and if you grew up eating Mabele A Ting then that’s what you prefer as a morning meal as a black person. However, Bogobe Ba Ting is mostly a morning meal eaten in less fortunate areas of South Africa. Listening to Bonang Matheab publicly admit her relationship with porridge on her Being Bonang show, causes an honest mental glitch for a second. And it is not that Bogobe Ba Ting is actually a bad meal, it’s actually healthy food contributing to why people in the villages live longer than people in the metropolis. What causes a mental glitch for a second is the fact that in Bonang’s Pinterest Instagram Timeline world, we’ve never seen “Bogobe ba Ting”, we’ve also never seen her eat it and this is not to say she should go brew it to prove it to us either.  The moral of this story is that listening to Bonang publicly admit her relationship with Ting sounds a bit like watching an accident where the driver comes out alive, but it also paints a picture like watching Beyonce carrying a bag of Cheetos as an accessory on the red carpet and really trying, by all means, to act normal.

Even after an African fashion icon publicly opened up about Bogobe Ba Ting, the Harvard of food Woolworths, still hasn’t given Bogobe Ba Ting its well-deserved African original merits by availing Bogobe Ba Ting in their stores.

In a world where Woolworths shockingly sell brewed cat execration as concentrated coffee, Woolworth’s obsession with organic food and healthy living is unmatched. Today, it is shocking that Bogobe Ba Ting hasn’t been discovered by Woolworths, since their customers are black people in the majority; on behalf of Bonang Matheba the public demands Ting.

Although it is widely accepted in African settings to go next door to ask for Ting if you missed brewing it, this is where Woolworths can step in.  It takes time and dedication to have ting consistently available for use, it makes soft porridge extremely tasty by giving it that Lemon zest that borders between the African Motombotsi beer and a normal morning meal. If you’ve never tried the Ting that the sensational Bonang Mathabe is so fond of, then it might interest you to find out it actually tastes like porridge with sour lemon juice and subdued African-brewed beer Motombotsi as flavors. In the very same way red wine is recommended, Ting plays the same role as a brewed morning beverage – and it is the same way that in The Chinese tradition, Tofu is referred to as contributing to living long. Ting in South Africa is the reason a candle of mankind’s population that lives in the village of this mass-country life longevity as compared to those who live in the metropolis. This cradle of mankind’s population lives longer for inventing Ting and eating it every day in the morning instead of the stylish and highly processed luxurious breakfast meals one would normally have in the metropolis. In this podcast with Kliberache Lawrence, K-Naomi opens up and breaks her silence on why she loves Pap and 7 Colors dish. While Sylvester Chauke recommends dishes like Sushi and Angry ducks, Kliberache prefers Pap and Amasi from Shoprite like K-Naomi. And, like things couldn’t be more ridiculous, in this podcast, Kliberache says seafood makes him want to regurgitate, and this is before dying in laughter. This podcast is about giving merit and the credit Pap deserves, and its global impact not only in most African meals. Thank you for listening!
