South African cuisine is rich and diverse, and there's something for everyone to enjoy.

From sweet treats like koeksisters and malva pudding to savoury dishes like boboties and boerewors, you will surely find something tantalising your taste buds.

You, however, need to travel to South Africa to have a taste of these cuisines just like the others.

Visa Free

Travellers between Ghana and South Africa will no longer need visas. The two countries announced a visa-waiver scheme on 1 November, allowing citizens to travel freely between them.

The visa waiver allows for travel for periods of up to 90 days within a calendar year, for purposes of business or tourism.

The 90 days may be used in one block, or in incremental amounts until the 90-day total within a calendar year is reached.

The two countries hope the agreement will boost tourism and will help to deepen economic cooperation between the two nations.

It is also part of a growing trend of African nations moving towards free travel for citizens of the continent.
