Boerewors is based on an older traditional Dutch sausage called the verse worst, though it differs somewhat in its ingredients. In South Africa, Boerewors is as traditional as you can get and it is hard to imagine a sports event, farmer’s market or school fete without someone selling Boerewors Rolls aka "Worsbroodjies".
