From the following webpage on SA-Austin.com:

Mieliepap (called "grits" in Texas) is an old South African favorite that goes
well with meat or as a breakfast porridge or cereal.
Ingredients
.5 - 6 cups water (1/2 water, ½ milk for cereal)
.1 cup corn flour
.½ tsp. salt
.1 tbsp. butter (optional, but it makes it taste better)
Instructions
1.Boil the water in a pot and add the salt and butter. Slowly stir in the flour
with a wok or fork. Turn the heat to medium and wait for your pap to start
bubbling. Cover the pot with a lid and let the pap simmer for 30 - 45 minutes.
(The longer and slower it steams, the better the taste.)
2.This can be eaten with milk and sugar for breakfast, or with brown gravy and
braaivleis (BBQ'd meat).
There is another version of mieliepap called "krummelpap", which is a drier,
more crumbed version that is favored in many parts of South Africa. It is
usually covered with a tomato & onion gravy and enjoyed with braaivleis. If
anyone has a krummelpap recipe, we'd be happy to post it here too.
On a side note, what we actually call the different consistencies of mieliepap
(mielie/maize porridge is a sort of direct translation) are either stywe
(stiff), or slap (soft/sloppy) pap (porridge).
Stay well
