Food fest delivers a tasty experience

People showed up in numbers to the Nedbank Swakopmund Food Festival, which took place from 15 to 17 December at the amphitheatre in Tobias Hainyeko Street.The Covid-19 pandemic took a toll on a lot of entrepreneurs and it was a great opportunity for vendors to showcase their food and products.This edition of the very popular foodie event accommodated 30 vendors and included an amazing gin bar by Malfy. CIC also came through with a KWV wine lounge for vino fanatics. The kiddies were in for a treat with a Casper candy floss stall.Vendors in attendance said they did very well in terms of cash flow, with six stalls selling out by the end of the night on Friday.Kristy Shomongula, last year’s winner of the Nedbank kapana competition and the owner of Ndafimanekwa Kapana, was a first-time vendor at the coastal festival. She said she was pleasantly surprised by how well her stall did from the first until the last day.The food festival has been taking place twice a year for four years and will be celebrating its fifth year in existence in style next year. “I am very excited about this aspect. We do not only want to present an ordinary festival. I want for us to go bigger and better next year. "This was the first post Covid-19 event for us. It really felt like we weren’t in a pandemic and it was a successful conclusion to the year,” organiser Dalene Stephanus said.
