In Soweto, the township braai culture drives a competitive butchery market resulting in some of the best-priced cuts in Joburg. The chisa nyama stalls that sell and grill meat have become famous city-wide and attract customers from the northern suburbs specifically for their boerewors and offal. For specific township cuts — particularly tripe, trotters, and sheep's head — the Soweto butchers outperform suburban supermarket meat counters in both range and price.
