Savannah Foods brings the beloved traditional South African dish of mogodu to every household in a convenient, shelf-stable can. Slow-cooked beef tripe, authentic flavour, industrial-scale quality — now available anytime, anywhere.
Savannah Foods (Pty) Ltd is a 100% Black-owned agro-processing company headquartered in Lephalale, Limpopo Province, South Africa. We specialise in the manufacture of affordable, ready-to-eat canned African staple foods that serve the dietary needs and cultural preferences of low- and middle-income consumers across South Africa and the broader SADC region.
Our flagship product, Mogodu Manje (canned beef tripe), represents a significant innovation in the South African food landscape. Mogodu is a beloved traditional dish, deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of millions of South Africans, yet it has historically been available only through time-consuming home preparation. By canning mogodu at industrial scale using HACCP-compliant processes, we transform a culturally significant dish into a convenient, shelf-stable, and affordable product.
Mogodu (beef tripe) is one of the most culturally significant and widely consumed traditional foods in South Africa, particularly in township and rural communities. The name "Mogodu Manje" translates loosely to "Tripe Now" — capturing the product's promise of instant availability without the hours of preparation traditionally required.
Each can contains carefully cleaned, prepared, and slow-cooked beef tripe in a rich, flavourful sauce that preserves the authentic taste of home-cooked mogodu — just the way it has been enjoyed for generations.
Processed using industrial steam kettles and retort sterilisation technology, ensuring complete food safety and a shelf life of 24+ months without refrigeration. Heat, eat, and enjoy in minutes.
At a competitive, affordable price point, Mogodu Manje makes a culturally loved, protein-rich meal accessible to township, rural, and urban working-class consumers across the country.
Our purpose-built canning plant brings together traditional African heritage and modern food manufacturing technology to deliver 20,000 cans of authentic Mogodu Manje every single day. A 100% Black-owned enterprise rooted in Limpopo, growing for Africa.
To become the leading African-owned canned food manufacturer on the continent, recognised for making traditional African staple foods accessible, affordable, and available to every household — from townships and rural villages to urban centres.
