Xashimba, also known as Fifi, who worked teammate Mohlati to prepare the mains. The results brought joy. “It was a very emotional moment for me cause we worked so hard for it,” she says. Xashimba, who lives in Cape Town, dreams of someday having “my own brand (a restaurant and a show)”. Her advice to other youngsters wishing to become chefs: “The industry is fun and you will enjoy it if you love it. It comes with challenges and a lot of hard work. When that happens, you need to be patient with yourself.”
