FROM THE GARDEN TO THE KITCHEN!
Lephalale TVET College’s Ellisras Campus hosted the Rising Chef Competition today, 20th October 2026 in collaboration with Agric Africa Development (AAD).
Six Ellisras Campus students competed for two places in the next round, showcasing their culinary skills, creativity and passion for cooking:
Mmabatho Seremula Salome
Moipolai Paulina Mocheko
Dembe Ennocent
Bridget Mathe
Anna Mmakgabo Maharala
Jeanette Morumudi
The competition gives students an opportunity to put their classroom learning into practice, build confidence and demonstrate their potential as aspiring chefs. Linked to the One TVET One Garden initiative, it also encourages the use of garden produce in their dishes, connecting food cultivation with creative cooking.
Well done to all six participants for taking on this challenge! Congratulations to the following two students who will represent the College in the next round:
First Position:Anna Mmakgabo Maharala
Second Position:Jeanette Morumudi
We wish you every success as you continue your culinary journey!
Thank you to AAD, our lecturers, judges and everyone who supported our students throughout this experience.
