The future of African flavour is not arriving quietly, it is showing up boldly at The Good Life Show Africa.
Taking place at the CTICC in Cape Town from 29 to 31 May 2026, the event is putting the spotlight on a trio of producers proving that innovation and heritage can make an excellent pairing.
For conscious food lovers, hospitality buyers and retail professionals alike, this is less a passive tasting event and more a chance to meet the people reshaping Africa’s food conversation.
- Springboard Harvest Ventures and TIWA Chocolate from Nigeria, an impact-driven producer working with more than 10,000 smallholder farmers to deliver premium cocoa products with full traceability. From world-class chocolate to cocoa nibs and beans, this is chocolate with both substance and story.
- From Ghana, Sankofa Snack Foods is giving the plantain a rather overdue glow-up. Founder Jamie Saleeby’s mission-led brand blends authentic African flavour with inventive snacking, with varieties inspired by Jollof, Smoked Beef and Kelewele proving that humble ingredients can still make a loud impression.
- Then there is Uganda’s Volcano Coffee, a true crop-to-cup operation founded by Gerald Katabazi. Beyond premium roasted specialty coffee, the brand’s social impact work, including a coffee school for the deaf and youth empowerment initiatives, adds a compelling layer to every pour.
Set against the energy of The Good Life Show Africa, these producers represent more than just excellent products. They reflect a broader shift toward ethical sourcing, sustainability and proudly African innovation that is impossible to ignore.
For anyone curious about where African food is heading next, the answer may very well be waiting in a tasting cup, snack bowl or chocolate square at the CTICC. Get your Tickets now!
