Johannesburg
30Johannesburg is home to one of the largest and most observant Jewish communities in the Southern Hemisphere, and its kosher scene is correspondingly dense and well organized. Almost every eatery clusters in the northeastern suburbs of Glenhazel, Sandringham, Fairmount, Norwood and Savoy, within easy reach of the community's synagogues, schools and the KosherWorld supermarket. Kashrut across the city is overseen by a single authority, the Union of Orthodox Synagogues (Johannesburg Beth Din), which keeps the standard unusually consistent from one venue to the next.

10Cape Town has a warm, well-established Jewish community concentrated in Sea Point, the Atlantic Seaboard, and the Gardens district near the historic Gardens Shul. Its kosher scene is small but reliable, ranging from meat grills and delis to dairy cafes and an ice cream shop. Nearly all certified establishments are supervised by the Cape Beth Din, the kashrut authority of the Union of Orthodox Synagogues (Cape). As a leading tourist city, Cape Town also draws kosher-keeping visitors seeking Sea Point's cluster of options.
