Mzansi has unique taste, and it’s just because South Africa has a lot of things you won’t find anywhere else.

What’s your favourite local cereal?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – and cereals are a quick energy boost. Some would even say it’s the “Breakfast of Champions”!

Some prefer to have eggs and “wors” for breakfast. For other people, some cereal is just what they need.

Here’s what Mzansi eats for breakfast.

Bokomo Otees are made from oats and rice, also combining sugar and glucose syrup for its added sweetness. They’re also available in different flavours, like bubblegum, cream soda, or chocolate – yes, you can go with vanilla too.

They are similar to Lucky Charms cereal, except South Africans don’t have leprechauns on their cereal brands.

They’re also shaped like the letter O, giving the cereal its name.

South Africans love their Weet-Bix – unless, of course, you don’t.

It’s not a purely South African breakfast cereal. The cereal actually comes from Australia, where it’s been around as a “health-aid” cereal since the 1960s.

Since 2014, you can buy a gluten-free version. It can be mixed with hot (or cold) milk.

Some people have it with fruit juice… Not kidding! You can also eat Weet-Bix like a cookie, adding butter.
