Two of South Africa’s busiest mums took a few minutes out of their day to show us how the foodies make a lunch box.
Mokgadi Itsweng, a single mother of one, knows all about the difficulty of a healthy lunch box. Her son was diagnosed with chronic asthma at birth and it’s this, she says, that forced her to think about food in a different way. As a restauranteur, caterer, magazine food editor, radio host, consultant and teacher, the culinary world is her oyster and this, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, has made her one of the most creative and inventive chefs in the industry. I went straight home to make her hibiscus iced tea – a fruity, aromatic juice perfect for a hot day.
