Adelaide Sebotoma’s life prospects seemed a little gloomy to her after she left school, but then she got a job as pastry chef at Maropeng’s Tumulus Restaurant. And the cherry on the top is that she is now enrolled in a cookery course.

“My life has changed a lot since I started working at Maropeng. I have been given the chance to go back to school.

“Maropeng has paid for me to do a one-year Professional Cookery course with the South African Chefs’ Association in Randburg,” she says.

“The staff and managers at Maropeng are very welcoming. They make you feel at home,” says Adelaide.

“I would like to thank them for giving me the chance to further my education so that I can have a better future.”

Adelaide says she would like to open her own bakery one day. “I love making cakes, scones and desserts.”
