There are certain flavours that instantly take you home – even if “home” is thousands of kilometres away. For many of us living abroad, it is food that particularly awakens memories, tells stories and creates a sense of belonging. In this edition of Business in the spotlight we introduce a business that does exactly that: with every bite a piece of South Africa comes alive again.

This week we take you to Canada, where Kromdraai Deli provides South African products to everyone who is far away from home. It is the comfort when you are homesick or the celebration when you are happy. We provide products and Food that reminds you of your home country. Forever proudly South African.

Read more about Kromdraai Deli

Kromdraai is the name of a farm in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It is located on the Highveld between Standerton and Volksrust.

Kromdraai Deli and Store is a family-owned business. Kromdraai opened its doors in November 2024 after taking over the previous South African store that had been in the same location in Lethbridge, Alberta in Canada

“Kromdraai Deli aims to provide a familiar place to shop for your favourite South African products. At Kromdraai we ask you to “Kom draai!” (literally come walk around). Come visit and try our range of tasty South African foods and desserts.

Businesses such as Kromdraai Deli show how our people take their culture, skills and entrepreneurial spirit with them, wherever they put down roots. It is these stories of adapting, building and contributing that make the World Guide so valuable – a place where South African businesses find and support each other, regardless of national borders.
