Oom Samie se Winkel (Afrikaans for Uncle Samie's Shop) is a tourist attraction and one of the oldest surviving shops in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It is a known general dealer in Dorp street and is famous for operating almost in exactly the same way as it did in the Victorian era.[1] The store was established in 1904 by Samuel Hannes (or Johannes) Volsteedt, who later became known as "Oom Samie", as a general dealer in Stellenbosch.[2] The shop still sells traditional ingredients such as bokkoms, sour fig jam, honey, chest sugar, offal, sheepheads and Rooibos tea.[3]
