CAPE TOWN - A vegetarian bakery in Khayelitsha hopes it can encourage residents to be more health and environmentally conscious.

The Espinaca Bakery has been operating for two years and just last week moved from a container to a small house.

The bakery stands out from dozens of stalls selling fried chicken and pap along Spine Road because it sells homemade vegetarian goods.

Owner Lufefe Nomjana says he wants to change peoples' perceptions about food and the environment.

The 26-year-old wants to expand the bakery to other parts of the Cape Town township this year before taking his business to Gugulethu and Langa.
