Keeping Kosher at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa

For those enduring the long trek to South Africa to enjoy the 2010 World Cup, you’ll be pleased to know that kosher food is plentiful on the southern tip of the African continent. Hopefully you’ll be attending games in either Cape Town or Johannesburg (locally known as Jo-berg) where the majority of the South African Jewish community resides.

We have compiled a list of restaurants, delis, kosher bed and breakfasts, and other places where you can access kosher food. We’ve even listed a kosher safari in case you have the extra time after the games to explore.

The following list are licensed kosher establishments from the South African Beth Din as of January 2010.
