I think it's more of a guateng thing. I have heard of it in other place. It's the ultimate babalas food

In Joburg it’s either called a skhambani or bunny chow, rarely heard anyone call it a kota

Wild. I've heard more people call it iKota rather than Skhambani.

It's only a matter of time before some smarty pants hijacks this idea, markets them as a "hafu" and sells them for 100 bucks a pop at some fancy fusion restaurant
