KOEKSISTER MONUMENT, ORANIA

My wife, Christa and her mother visited the Koeksister Monument in ORANIA. A Koeksister is a sweet delicatessen which resembles a sort of a doughnut recipe, but does not taste like it. It is a typical Voortrekker/Afrikaans recipe and has no English name. On his visit to ORANIA, the former president of South Africa, Mr. Nelson Mandela also enjoyed some Koeksisters with the widow of one of the former prime ministers of South Africa, Dr. Hendrik French Verwoerd, Mrs. Betsie Verwoerd. When the previous president of the United States of America, Mr. George W. Busch, visited South Africa a few years ago, he also got hooked on Koeksisters !(Koeksister recipes can be googled how to prepare and cook this sweet little delicatessen snack.)
