TOP DEFINITION
A popular slogan meaning "local is great." Lekker means nice, so it encourages enjoying local products, places or people rather than always preferring foreign alternatives. Seen on T-shirts, it's a proud celebration of all things South African.
"I could import fancy Italian cheese, but I buy from the dairy down the road – local is lekker, after all, said Johan, slicing his locally made cheddar."
