Potjie is a South African name for a type of stew cooked in a cast-iron three-legged pot. In Zimbabwe, which is where I am from, we use the same type of cast-iron pot, which we call ‘bhodho’, and we just call the stew a stew - and in this instance goat stew would be ‘nyama yembudzi’. This goat stew is common in Zimbabwe, though each family has its own recipe.
