PHAKA SITYE!

PHAKA SITYE! A Heritage Day gathering by Masipheke — Step into a fire-led heritage experience like no other where clay holds the heat, smoke carries the story, and every dish is touched by flame. Arrive from 14:00 and settle into a golden afternoon with a welcome drink in hand, as the fire comes alive and the rhythm of the space gently takes hold. PHAKA SITYE by Masipheke unfolds as an intimate long-table gathering at Cooktastic at The Palms — rooted in indigenous cooking, music, and connection.Expect a bold, slow-crafted menu prepared over open fire, smoked to depth and cooked in traditional clay pots — featuring Masipheke signature dishes like Smoked Smiley, succulent sheep trotters, and umleqwa dumplings. Each plate draws from ancestral techniques — sealed in clay, layered with smoke, and served as a celebration of earth and flame. The atmosphere moves with indigenous music, live rhythms, and storytelling, while curated drinks flow to complement the fire-kissed flavours. This is not just dining — it's a sensory gathering shaped by heat, heritage, and people.
