Meet Chef Anitha, the young cook hoping to plate up for President Ramaphosa

947’s Mornings with Mantsoe hosts Chef Anitha September for Kitchen Raid.

Listen below:

The private chef took over last week's edition of Kitchen Raid: Youth Month. 

Hailing from Cape Town, she moved to Jozi to follow her passion for food.

She attended Tshwane University of Technology, where she completed a qualification in hospitality management, majoring in culinary and food and beverage studies.

“I’ve grown up in the kitchen… While any other kids would be watching cartoons, I would be watching Food Network. Coming from school, I was like, ‘OK, this can be a career. I can go to school for this.'” 

– Chef Anitha September

From working in hotels to restaurants, September found a love for private cooking where her creativity can flow.

One client she hopes to one day cook for? President Cyril Ramaphosa.

“With him, his family… from starters to mains and desserts.”
