allowing a mixture of water and malted sorghum to ferment. The fermented product is only partially strained and thus retains a considerable percentage of solid matter. It is looked upon as both a food and a drink. In recent years commercially produced Bantu beer powders have been replacing sorghum malt in home brewing and at smaller industrial breweries. Most municipalities enjoyed a monopoly for the production of Bantu beer in their areas and the larger ones operated modern industrial plants for this purpose. In the industrial production of Bantu beer, maize grits became the major basic ingredient and were mixed with sorghum malt in a ratio of two to three parts of maize to one part of malt. Although most of the industrially produced Bantu beer is still sold from bulk, modern packaging in plastic and other types of containers was rapidly being introduced at most municipal breweries. Since the supply of European liquor to the Bantu was legalised in 1962, the sale of Bantu beer by municipalities started to increase at a faster rate than before. European and Bantu beer have much in common. The latter is in fact virtually the primitive forerunner of the former. In Leipzig, in Germany, a centuries-old brewery is preserved as a tourist attraction and its product is hard to distinguish from Bantu beer. It is not generally known that the nutritional value of European beer closely approximates that of Bantu beer. Both contain about the same percentage of alcohol but whereas fermentation is terminated in the case of European beer by pasteurisation after bottling, it continues with Bantu beer until it turns ‘sour’. Resultantly the alcoholic content of Bantu beer increases after it leaves the brewery and it is not unusual to find that it contains more alcohol than that permitted by law, namely, 3% by weight or nearly 4% by volume. Permitted by South African law of 1964 at that time. Now, back in the 1960s, the South African Government decided to use the profits that accrue to municipalities from the production and sale of Bantu beer to plough back for the benefit of the Bantu communities in their respective areas, , why the Apartheid Government built schools, libraries, clinics, four-room houses for Natives of the land, and succeeded to remove all African communities from their Townhomes e.g. Old Alberton North (Emagogogweni area) to townships e.g Katlehong, Thokoza, and Vosloorus areas (Katorus),
