What is a good substitute for UK-style 'digestive cookies' in South Africa? It's for a crumb crust for a chocolate mousse cake.

2What's the application? Are you serving them with something or using them in a recipe? If it's a recipe it would help if you could post it. – GdD Oct 09 '17 at 09:55

You'd probably get away with any kind of sweet hard biscuit.
I'm not South African, so I can't help you if you want a local biscuit, but looking at Woolworth's online shop suggests you might actually be able to find Digestives, or there's Bourbons, Shortbread, or even Ginger Nuts if you fancy trying something a little different from the recipe.
Note that although the recipe calls them cookies, it's just using the American term for biscuit (even though it seems to be a British website).
