Bona Tatso: the glint of the township taste :: Mmegi Online

Townships are usually known for having shebeen-style mini tuck-shops across the street selling mangwinya (fatcakes) and menoto (chicken feet). The atmosphere changed last week when the Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture, Thapelo Olopeng officially opened a restaurant branded Bona Tatso Township Cuisine at the vibrant location of Old Naledi popularly known as Zola. Mmegi Staffer MOMPATI TLHANKANE went to Gaborone’s oldest and largest community to get the Bona Tatso experience

Located in Old Naledi in Gaborone, Bona Tatso is hard to miss while driving along the Old Lobatse road. Being the newest kid on the block, the cookery is striking from a distance and for someone who likes sightseeing, the place inspires an interest for a detour.

Car tyres used to fence the front exterior let you know that you have arrived at the township of Zola. Children in the area play around with car tyres, so it adds that significance of the jolly mood in the Old Naledi playgrounds.
