Proud partner of the official
Comrades Pasta Party brought to
you by Modern Athlete and
Fatti’s & Moni’s
atti’s & Moni’s is a part of South Africa’s Italian heritage, but
the two names didn’t always live so happily side by side. Luigi Fatti
opened a tiny grocery store to do business in early Johannesburg in
1896, selling macaroni, olive oil and wines from Italy. Ten years later,
Pietro and Giacomo Moni established Moni Brothers Limited, which
catered for the rising demand for Italian beverages and delicacies.
The First World War caused a scarcity of imported goods, so the
Moni brothers began to manufacture their own goods locally, and
became a huge rival of Fatti’s business. Eventually the competing
families signed a peace treaty, and in 1953, the Moni brothers
secured a controlling interest in the Fatti business. Tiger Brands finally
brought the two companies together as Fatti’s & Moni’s in 1982.
Today, the company continues to produce the fine-quality pasta
with Italian authenticity that South Africans have always loved –
and is proud to be a presenting sponsor alongside Modern Athlete
magazine for the official 2014 Comrades Pasta Party on 30 May in
Durban. See you there!
