Chef Zithu cooks up
a storm in the States

Far from the rural streets of Emmaus in Bergville, Zithulele 'Zithu' Siphesihle Hlombe is living his dream as a chef — most recently working at Big Cedar Lodge in Hollister, Missouri.

A graduate of the Johannesburg Culinary & Pastry School, Zithu qualified as a professional chef in 2017 and has cooked at Cathedral Peak Hotel, The Nest Drakensberg, and Moyo Zoo Lake, before founding Chef Zithu in 2021.

"One of the highlights of my career is when I got the opportunity to cook for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar — and another is when I started my catering business."

Never stop dreaming. Yesterday's dream can become the reality of tomorrow.
