The time-honoured tradition of Thanksgiving, celebrated by citizens of the United States on 25 November, was done a little differently this year by the inspirational Oprah Winfrey. The media personality invited a few South African guests to a Thanksgiving dinner.

Oprah, with the help of her chef Raymond Weber, brought the taste of Africa to the tongues of those around her with recreations of traditional South African dishes.

An Instagram post by the former talk show host had Mzansi drooling as Oprah moved her camera from one mouthwatering dish to another. Actor and producer Thando Dhlomo, as well as actress Nomzamo Mbatha, came into the shot as they amped each other up.
