Mzansi’s national junior chef team, representing the diverse flavours of South African cuisine, secured a bronze medal at the 2024 African Culinary Cup.
Cairo, Egypt (05 September 2024) – South Africa is popular for many things, and good food is certainly one of them. From good old braai vleis, the spicy curries of Indian heritage, to the fresh seafood of the coast, the country offers a mouthwatering array of culinary delights.
Sharing these amazing flavours with a flair of culinary expertise was SA’s very own national chef junior team led by Chef Siyabulela Kobo at the 2024 African Culinary Cup.
The South African Chef’s Association was overwhelmed with pride and joy to announce that the team achieved a bronze medal at the international cooking competition, where they went head-to-head with some of Africa’s and the Middle East’s most promising, talented chefs.
The African Culinary Cup nurtures and enhances the culinary skills and experiences of young culinarians throughout the region. The core mission of the competition is to inspire chefs to uphold the highest standards of culinary excellence and professionalism, SA Chef Magazine explains.
To make the top three in such an esteemed culinary event is a major feat for Kobo and his talented team of chefs; Marian Joppan, Thando Ntsele, Dana-Leigh Coleman and Thato Matlala.
We are so proud. You have proven that Mzansi is not to be played with when it comes to the kitchen!
