Desi Angelis, of Muizenberg, left, and Greg Vittu, of Lakeside, took part in Food Dialogues, at Philippi Village, on Mandela Day, Monday 18, by weeding, making new vegetable-garden beds and planting granadilla plants. Food Dialogues is a two-week programme that addresses questions around food systems, and hosts a range of activities, from panel discussions to hands-on cooking classes for adults and children. The programme was launched on Mandela Day and will run until Monday August 1. After a hard day’s work, Ms Angelis and Mr Vittu shared a traditional tripe lunch prepared by members of the community.
