Makoti cooks for venda in-laws
Rializah posted a TikTok video showing how she poured her heart into cooking uphuthu to be served with amasi, otherwise known as umphokoqo, for her in-laws.
Umphokoqo, a crumbly maize meal with sour milk or butter milk, SA Tourism explains.
In the clip, she is seen preparing the maize meal dish, cooked over an open fire in an old pot before dishing it up in a bowl and pouring amasi.
As good as the meal looked, Rializah said her efforts ended in tears as her in-laws enjoyed amasi with pap (maize meal dish of a runnier consistency) and not uphuthu.
"Uphuthu is the problem. They do eat Amasi but with soft pap not uphutu . I remember the first time I cooked uphuthu my husband said this kind of pap will cause him constipation ," Rializah shared in one of her comments on teh post.

SA reacted to the video with funny comments as some people hilariously reprimanded her for cooking the wrong "maize version" for her in-laws.
Others were shocked that some tribes enjoyed amasi with pap and not uphuthu.
MaGabhisa asked:
"They don't eat Amasi or uphuthu inkinga?"
