Accessibility Statement for Mzansi Flavors

At Mzansi Flavors, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a user-friendly experience that is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all users. Our efforts include:

Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and screen magnifiers. We have tested our website with the following:

We are committed to ensuring compatibility with future versions of these and other assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the Tab key to move through interactive elements, and the Enter key to activate links and buttons. We have also implemented skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to the main content.

Color Contrast

We have carefully selected colors to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to read the content more easily. We aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as specified in WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Images and Alternative Text

All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This text provides a description of the image to users who are unable to see it, such as those using screen readers. The alt text accurately conveys the meaning and context of the image. For example:

Bobotie, a traditional South African dish, served with yellow rice and chutney

This image shows Bobotie, a traditional South African dish, served with yellow rice and chutney. The alt text accurately describes what the image is showing.

Forms

All forms on our website are designed to be accessible. We use clear labels, provide instructions and error messages, and ensure that form fields are properly associated with their labels.

Video and Audio Content

We strive to provide captions and transcripts for all video and audio content on our website. This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the content. We also provide audio descriptions for videos when necessary.

Resizable Text

Users can resize the text on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size to a comfortable level.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure the accessibility of our own content, we may occasionally include third-party content on our website. We are not responsible for the accessibility of this content, but we encourage third-party providers to adhere to accessibility guidelines.

Ongoing Accessibility Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We regularly review our website and make updates as needed to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We also welcome feedback from our users on how we can improve accessibility.

Dark mode provides a high-contrast viewing experience, which can be beneficial for users with visual impairments or those who prefer a darker screen.

Accessibility Audits and Testing

We conduct regular accessibility audits and testing to identify and address potential accessibility issues. Our audits include both automated testing and manual review by accessibility experts. We use tools such as WAVE and Axe DevTools to identify common accessibility issues, and we also conduct manual testing with screen readers and other assistive technologies to ensure that our website is usable by people with disabilities.

Structured Content and Semantic HTML

We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content in a meaningful way. This helps screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the content and present it to users in a logical and organized manner. We use headings ( h1 to h6 ) to structure our content, lists ( ul and ol ) to present related items, and tables ( table ) to display tabular data. Each table includes a element to provide a summary of the table's contents, and each header cell ( th ) has a scope attribute to indicate whether it applies to the row or column.
