Biltong & Dry Wors

When I first moved from Durban to Swindon, I carried with me not just my luggage but a profound longing for the familiar tastes of home. Among those cherished flavours were traditional snacks like biltong and dry wors. This hunger for a taste of home is what led me to create The South African Spaza Shop. Operating for years, we've established ourselves as a beacon for South Africans scattered across the UK, searching for that elusive taste of home.

Our shop, located in Swindon, stands out as more than just a South African Shop; it's a slice of South Africa right here in the UK. We pride ourselves in offering a wide range of authentic South African products. However, it’s our biltong and dry wors that have become a celebrated staple.
