Global influence on food

South Africa’s fast food and diner sectors have been largely westernised in the past few decades. It is not uncommon to find global brands (such as McDonalds, KFC and Wimpy) in cities and towns across the country. However, a number of locally started chains have been just as successful with the fast food model. Steers, Chicken Licken and Debonairs are amongst some of South Africa’s most popular fast-food chains, while Nandos has reached global popularity.
