According to M-Net, Luyanda and her partner Donald, a photographer, are adventurous and curious global citizens, live life in the fun lane, and are in tune with what’s hip and happening. Donald and Luyanda believe that food creates experiences and that one should be aware of the context of the food one consumes.
'My Kitchen Rules South Africa' airs on Sundays at 6pm on DSTV channel 101. The show is a South African culinary showdown as amateur cooks invite viewers - and celebrity judges - into their homes for an evening of pressure cooker competition to win a cash prize in the end.
I had the privilege of sitting across from this young lady and learning about her and what drives her. She also talks about Women's Month and gives advice to young women in SA with regard to going for your dreams.
