A young woman who decided to leave the retail sector to pursue her dream of becoming a chef is making waves on social media.

In a post by the South African Chefs Association, Dineo Mokwatedi explained that she didn’t initially love cooking when she was younger because she needed to prepare foods for her family members from a young age:

“My great-grandmother raised me until I was 14. I then had to move to Tembisa to stay with my sickly grandmother, help with house chores, and cook for her.

“As a teenager, I hated all the cooking I had to do while my friends would be going out and having fun.”

But the lovely lady now realises that the skills she learnt served her well with her current career choice:

“Throughout the years of me cooking these meals for her, little did I realise that I was developing a skill which would later become a very important part of my life.

“It was only after I started staying with my in-laws that I realised the love and passion I had developed for cooking."

After working in the retail sector for seven years, Dineo made the leap and decided to attend culinary school. She is currently studying at Limpopo Chefs Academy.
