Nguni Grill in Polokwane

If you have never eaten pofadder wors or skilpadjies, you need to get down to Nguni Grill on the corner of Morris and De Wet Ave in Bendor, Polokwane.

Pofadder wors (pufadder sausage), is not a snake sausage. It's only Kalahari wors made of chopped liver and kidney. At Nguni Grill it is served with ciabatta bread and olive oil with a balsamic vinegar dip. Mouthwatering, traditional South African and Afrikaner wors.

Or how about skilpadjies (little tortoises)? No, not the real thing - ground lamb's liver with herbs and spices. Or maybe you'll prefer marrow bone on toast?

This is only part of the menu at Nguni Grill Polokwane named after the indigenous African cattle renowned for its patched hides.

Nguni Grill is an initiative of Willem Pretorius well-known in Polokwane as a previous owner of Spur Savannah and a partner in Pick n Pay Family Store in Cycad Centre.
