Press release: “The Wing Republic” opens shop in Pretoria

By: Gloria Masia


The Wing Republic "TWR" has finally landed its second restaurant in Pretoria.

After being voted “The Best Chicken Wings in Gauteng by Jacaranda FM, Tlhompho Mokoena who is the founder of TWR, knew from then that the restaurant was going places and soon would venture into franchise.

It started as a pop-up shop in 2014 catering for events and that’s where he would often be asked how else people can get hold of the wings. In 2017, TWR finally opened a shop in Braamfontein. Being located in Braamfontein, a student dominant area, that also influenced the more inclusive pricing.

“It took three years for TWR to finally open as a fully operational restaurant and we now have a total of 7 full time workers. We started serving wings only; and thereafter we added ribs, burgers and pasta dishes to our menu. From breakfast to wings served with sides, TWR always aims to please and fill the stomachs of their customers at an affordable price. We run specials on Tuesday and Wednesday with our average main meal at a cost of R60. They are now also famous for their ribs," Tlhompho said.

They have 13 flavoures of chicken wings, with Barbecue and Peri-Peri being their top sellers. Located at 6 De Beer Str., Braamfontein.

After 3 years of opening a shop in Johannesburg and by popular demand, TWR is proud to announce that they parked the second TWR restaurant in Pretoria. The opening will be on the 16th of August 2019 at 9am. Located at 367 Helen Joseph Str., Karps Building, Pretoria. The very same area that is student dominant.

Social media has since been booming since the announcement and it seems like people cannot wait for the grand opening. Pretorians' can now have a bite of the ‘best’ wings in the province.

Travel: My road trip to Venda and all you need to know when visiting Venda

By: Gloria Masia There is something about the N1 route. Those “I’m going home” feelings that get you excited about the visit. Thinking about all the food that granny will feed you with. The trees on the sideways that looks so green and immediately you think to yourself, “I can never starve in this land”. The soil is so fertile where it produces mouth-watering, juicy fruits and vegetables. Food: Mashonzha is Mopani worms that are caught before they could transform into butterflies. It is one of their favourites. It can be cooked with tomato and onions or dried, best served with ‘vhuswa’ which is porridge. The other favourite of theirs is ‘delele’ which are greens that when cooked becomes slimy. My all-time favourite is ‘Thsidzimba’ which is a mixture of all different types of peanuts and beans cooked together, very healthy I tell you. You can eat this as breakfast, lunch or supper, it really doesn’t matter. Clothing: Do not be amazed when you bump into females who a...

The oldest yet strongest root behind our family tree

I still remember those road trips to my home in Venda. There is just something about that N1 road that rejuvenates your soul. Its much nicer to go to Venda in December, right after the exam stresses and work closes. It’s more than just a physical trip, but an emotional and mental one. From the moment I get off the bus at the bus stop, I realise how green the trees are, “it must be this red soil” as I say to myself, while I wipe off the sweat from the sun’s heat, we all know Limpopo can sure be hot. Because my grandmother already knows that I’m on my way there when I get home I kneel down and say my greetings, as she welcomes me with a bowl full of different fruits from the yard. That is just an introduction. My grandmother was born in the year 1918 and married my grandfather at age 20 and the rest is history! She has 11 children, 26 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren at age 101. She loves to cook and I know that she has probably cooked some tradi...

Resolutions are important, so is achieving them

We have already entered the New Year and surely by now most of us have set our resolutions for the New Year. But for how long will we keep those promises to ourselves? Probably we did set resolutions for the previous year, but some didn’t achieve them, which is the reason behind setting new ones for this year, hoping everything will turn out as we wish. But the truth is that we can achieve anything as long as we set our minds to it, long-term. However, that has never been an easier task. Let’s take for example, you want to lose weight, started January eating salads and being on a diet, but will you still be eating like that in June? Let’s be relevant here… Because it’s understandable that resolutions only last until end of January of mid-February, this piece is to remind you that you have a journey that you ought to omit to and complete.  There will be a lot of temptations that will come your way, but this year try other things you have never tried befo...
