Hailing from Nongoma in KwaZulu-Natal, Zandile Ngwenya has worked hard to be a catering expert. She has enjoyed cooking from a young age, but never thought she could make it as a caterer.
At the age of 26, she decided to take her hobby serious. She has a full-time job, so she runs her business on weekends and holidays. She shares her love for food and her business with us.
