Chef Mmbatho Molefe is one of 50 young hospitality pioneers recognised globally for her fine dining Zulu dishes
Chef Mmabatho Molefe has been turning heads with her Zulu cuisine-inspired restaurant, Emazulwini, which is located at the V&A Waterfront’s Makers Landing in Cape Town.
Forming part of The World's 50 Best annual awards ceremony, 50 Next was launched in April 2021 and features people aged 35 years and younger — chosen as winners from a selection of people around the world — who are shaping the future of gastronomy. Molefe attended the awards ceremony last week in Spain and is no doubt gearing up for an influx of visitors to her 10-seater restaurant.Molefe, who is 27, told TimesLIVE she’s honoured to be featured on the 50 Next list. “What it means for me is that our food matters and our story matters. I‘m excited to show more and more people this side of SA food.”
Her seven-course set menu is inspired by the kind of food that her mother used to cook for her, something that is reflected in the storytelling that accompanies her menu.
