I’m born and bred in KwaMashu township, where my love for food and flavour was sparked at a young age. I studied Hospitality Management at Damelin, and from there, my culinary journey has taken me across the globe.

I started out working at Café Gitano and Sibaya Casino, later joining Unilever, where I first got a taste of working with high-quality products and innovation in the kitchen. My passion for growth and new challenges led me to Dubai, where I became Head Chef at Café Moka and worked with Emirates Leisure Retail, catering for major events like the Rugby Sevens.

One of the highlights of my journey was opening Velvet, a fine dining restaurant that allowed me to express my creativity through refined cuisine. I then had the privilege of spending six months at the iconic Taj Hotel in India, where I immersed myself in the world of Indian spices and traditional cooking techniques — an experience that deeply enriched my culinary repertoire.

As Group Executive Chef of Aldar, I managed and ran 10 outlets across various cuisines, which taught me how to lead with precision and consistency at scale. When I returned to South Africa, I led the kitchen at a 4-star hotel and at the wellloved Antiques Café, before returning to Unilever — this time as the Innovation and Deploy Chef for Africa.

I’m passionate about using only the best ingredients to create unforgettable meals, and I thrive when cooking for guests who appreciate quality and flavour  Cooking isn’t just my job — it’s my purpose, my passion, and my superpower.

I am Chef Vusi.
