History

 * 1) 1860’s - Indians were shipped to South Africa on the as indentured labourers to work the colonial sugar cane fields.
 * 2) 1890’s - Indentured indians labour gave way to “passenger” immigrants, and workers of all kinds came to find formal employment.
 * 3) 1900’s - By now indian families are moving around freely and starting families/ business including take away restaurants etc. This saw workers move into central where they could buy a Tasty and for lunch.
 * 4) 1940’s - Although roti and beans was the traditional meal amongst the workers, the idea of the bunny chow was developed as a less messy alternative. So they cut out the centre portion of the bread and  filled it with curry and cupped the filling with the portion that was cut out which made it simpler for workers to carry their lunches to work.
