Many know him as Boeta Whitey, but his name is actually Ebrahim Stellenboom. His son Fahiem Stellenboom interviewed him for Koe’sister.
When Koe’sister decided to feature Boeta Whitey Stellenboom , it seemed like a no-brainer to ask his son Fahiem to do the interview.
We’ve come to know and love Boeta Whitey via the Food Fairies (Koe’sister Magazine)* group on Facebook because Fahiem regularly shares the latest news and food stories about his family. His dad features prominently – and we’re here for it! The love between father and son is clear and it is beautiful to witness. It has endeared him to young and old, and built a very loyal fan base for the handsome silver-bearded senior.

I finally got round to take out my subscription. This interview right here made it soo worth it. I loved reading about your lovely family Fahiem.
Thank you Fahiem and Boeta Whitey for sharing your life story with us. Will be trying that smoo when I get a gier.
A great way of knowing an enigmatic, interesting figure of Cape Town history! Thanks Fahiem for sharing your dad and his glorious life with us.
