Zulu Grille’s new location in South Jordan, which serves South African cuisine and supports Johannesburg program Home of Hope for Girls, which supports victims of human trafficking, is scheduled to open July 29, 2022.In 2010, Jared Turner traveled to South Africa for the FIFA World Cup. It was a life-changing trip, but not because of the soccer.
Makasi recalled meeting Turner in 2011. “I would take him to have piri piri chicken every day, because that’s what he wanted to have,” Makasi said. “He said, ‘Hey, man, we need to bring this to Utah, because it’s not there.’” “As we were talking about bringing the flavor and wonderful food of Africa to Utah, we also wanted to bring the culture of Africa to Utah,” Makasi said. “Our decision was to do a meal-for-meal program, where for every meal one purchases at Zulu Grille, a portion of that meal goes to help feed those who are in need.”
Motsa was the last person they met with, and it was immediately clear, Makasi said, that they had found their partner. Human trafficking remains a stubborn problem in South Africa, Motsa said. But since taking those first little girls to her apartment to keep them safe in 2000, Home of Hope for Girls has helped 11,000 girls and women escape human trafficking, and get their educations.
Makasi said the other part of the story is New Orleans native Rob Howell, who serves as executive chef at both restaurants. Makasi said that piri-piri chicken uses the African bird’s-eye chili, which can be quite hot, but as a Cajun chef, Howell knows how to work with spicy peppers.
