The R90 billion fast-food industry that competes against KFC, McDonald’s, and Steers in South Africa

• South Africa's informal fast-food sector generates R90 billion in sales annually.
• The sector is driven by popular South African street foods and snacks, such as kotas, vetkoek, and chicken dust, and is booming in townships.
• The informal economy is estimated to be worth between R750 billion and R1 trillion, and activist GG Alcock is challenging the terming of this sector as 'informal' due to its scale and resilience.
