South Africans Love the Colonel

One of the most jarring aspects of my trip to South Africa was the fact that no matter where I went, I was haunted by the ghost of Colonel Sanders. Nowhere was this more poignant than in the town of Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal which has a population of just over 14,000 people.

On one of the main streets (Osborn Road), there is a KFC that always seemed to be doing brisk business the several times I passed by.

But not even a kilometer down Osborn Road is there another KFC that also does very brisk business as well!

South Africans love their Kentucky Fried Chicken almost as much as we Americans love our Starbucks. There is one on every corner!
