Nomzamo Mbatha set to host ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ South Africa with Thapelo Mokoena

Award-winning South African actress, Nomzamo Mbatha, will host Stella Artois much anticipated ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ event in Johannesburg on November 12th, this time along with fellow actor and entrepreneur, Thapelo Mokoena and a guest list that includes some of South African’s most interesting people.

Premised on the classic question of “If you could invite anyone to dinner, who would that be?”, the second edition of Let’s Do Dinner will bring together South Africa’s most noteworthy personalities – from actors to book authors, musicians, artists, and business titans – for a dinner that celebrates the power of human connection and moments worth more around the table. Last year’s guests included Zozibini Tunzi, Lloyiso, Lasizwe, Mihlali Ndamase and Melanie Bala, amongst others.

Having attended the New York City event and hosting the event in Johannesburg in 2023, Coming2America and Shaka Ilembe star, Nomzamo Mbatha has had an auspicious year thus far. Apart from receiving the prestigious Forbes Woman Africa Entertainer of the Year Award in March, Nomzamo also won Best African Actress at the Septimius Awards in Amsterdam in August and co-presented the Global Citizen Festival in New York in September.

“I’m so looking forward to hosting SA’s most fascinating dinner again after the success of last year’s inaugural event. There’s something so powerful about taking time out to share a meal – nothing is worth more than human connection and the meaningful moments that come from coming together around a table,” said Nomzamo Mbatha.

Actor, media personality, and visionary founder of Bakoena Brands, Thapelo Mokoena has also had a busy year and recently partnered with Stella Artois in delivering a keynote address as part of the recent GQ Grooming Masterclass held in Johannesburg.

“It’s such an honour to be co-hosting Let’s Do Dinner with Nomzamo. I truly resonate with what this event represents – bringing people together through the shared experience of a great meal. There’s something profound about how food and meaningful conversation create lasting connections; it doesn’t get any better than that,’ said Thapelo Mokoena

In pursuit of genuine moments worth more, Stella Artois ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ will also feature epicurean meals from renowned chefs as well as sublime performances from some of SA’s top talent.

“Let’s Do Dinner Johannesburg promises to once again be one of the most unique social gatherings of the year, imbued with that quintessential South African touch. ‘Let’s Do Dinner’ celebrates the simple act of gathering around a table, enjoying good food and drink, and engaging in meaningful conversations, in our everyday lives. And that is something worth more,” said Estee Burger, Stella Artois Marketing Manager.
