Dining like Madiba

In memory of Mandela’s love for food, our 36 seater contemporary dining restaurant serves as a tribute to his favourite dishes as previously prepared by his long-time personal chef, Xoliswa Ndoyiya. For over 20 years, Xoliswa Ndoyiya was Madiba’s personal and family chef, from his presidency to his retirement and until his passing. Xoliswa grew up in Ezibeleni in the Eastern Cape where Madiba hailed from.
 
Xoliswa is also the author of Ukutya Kwasekhaya: Tastes from Nelson Mandela's Kitchen.
