annelie Botes2023-10-09Neem in ag dat ek bittersiek was tydens die skryf van Katvis. Maar my been is eers 6 maande ná voltooiing van die teks baie onverwags geamputeer. Tydens die skryfproses het amputasie nooit eens deur my gedagtes gegaan nie.
Ferranaaz Hanslo2023-10-09Wow such beautiful childhood memories of District Six, when we as kids had to go to the butcher in Hanover Street, next to the Crescent for worries... if only they had a delivery service...still tastes mouthwatering
Fazlin2023-10-09Awesome read, Zubayr, well done. I remember how my mom raved about Abassi se warme worsies. Also, my dad use to drive to get us olapworsies on weekends... It was a thing in our home too and like your mom mentioned the next day or the Monday for school you
Deon van Zyl2023-10-09'n Uitstekende ontleding wat weereens uiters relevant is vir wat huidiglik in daardie gebied gebeur. Die gebalanseerde en indringende ondersoek behoort wyer gelees te word om die oppervlakkige en eensydige benaderings wat in meeste Westerse media verskyn,
Tharwah Solomons2023-10-09You bring back so much good memories and always take me back to my late parents and grandparents, thank you for reminding us of what life was all about. Continue and grow to make us feel grateful and honoured for something we might call the smallest thing
Mishkah Bassadien2023-10-09Well done Zubayr what a 'warm' and inviting story MarshAllah. A great tribute to his family and culinary tradition of the Cape :-)
Labeekah2023-10-09Ah…Zubayr! This brings back so much memories of the late oumi and Deda, they mentioned the “oulap” story verses the rand, even the worsie thing is such a preference in Cape Town. I can proudly say, I was raised with Abasies se worsies, this is what
Careemah2023-10-09What a brilliant piece of reading Zubayr! Fond memories of 83 Dorp Street. Fresh white blue ribbon bread and penny polony smootjie.

Siddeeq2023-10-08Ahh this just brought up childhood memories on abassies worsies, their worsies are one of the best in Cape Town and by now I have an idea when tasting a worsie if it came from that specific butcher or not, haha.

Henning Janse van Vuuren2023-10-08De Villiers se oogmerk is dus om die leser te gaslight en vol vertwyfeling te laat oftewel gas te gee en met die kop te smokkel. Te smokkelgas, as te ware. Goeie resensie.
Sumayyah2023-10-08Well Zubayr, I've been 'coerced'😁. I've always wanted to know what these worsies, and of course, its history, was all about. I too had heard lots about these worsies and the comparisons people would often make, with the often heard 'hulle kannie vi' Ab
Moejaahied Bardien2023-10-08Outjie, Rayyan Bardien and I, when we catch up from time to time, enjoy doing it while enjoying Abassie's worsies. Adds a warm feeling to the fact that we've been friends in excess of 40 years.
Ruschana Benjamin2023-10-08Absolutely loved it ... and I lived it. Assie's cousins Anwar and Sameer are my cousins too. Their late mom was my dad's only sister. Currently Assie's younger daughter is married to my youngest brother. LOL. I have a few memories of Papa (Abassie) ♥️
Jamielah Adams2023-10-08Just as the others say, memories don’t leave like people do. They stay glued to your heart. Shukran, Zubayr, for taking me back to my childhood days. It brings a tear to my eyes and I can still taste the worsies. You are brilliant.
Tyler Jansen-Alben2023-10-08What a lovely read! As a reader, it felt like you were sitting right there and part of the conversation. You have such a way with words, my friend.
