To celebrate South Africa's rich traditions and cultures for Heritage Month, we partnered with Capital Hotel School and asked their chef students to create unique dishes based on Mzansi's traditional favourites. We also invited VIP guests to judge the students' dishes. Chefs Lucky Ledwaba and Tinyiko Mabunda took the humble boerewors roll and gave it a delicate sensational twist – and received the second place prize from the judges!
