You can tell when someone truly understands their

You can tell when someone truly understands their craft. @chef_wez Executive Chef from @capegracehotel has that exact quality.

His advice to young chefs is learn as much as possible. “You don’t have all the answers, but you should never stop finding solutions to get to them.” He says.

He certainly walks that talk. Always evolving, following trends while innovating his own path, leading teams while staying curious himself. But what really defines his approach?

The details matter most to him. Pay attention, anticipate problems, and prevent them. Simple to say, but difficult to practice.

This mindset made him a natural mentor for this year’s Inter-Hotel Challenge. He guided the next generation of pâtissiers with the same precision and care he brings to every creation. Teaching them to think ahead. To stay hungry. To build excellence one deliberate choice at a time.

We are honoured that we get to be witness to his the legacy he’s building through every chef he mentors. Thank you chef!

Today, we’re going to come together to honour the contestants who showed up with heart, discipline, and a love for this industry that keeps South Africa’s hospitality shining.

There’s something about Chef Sihle Dhlamini that reminds you why kitchens are classrooms long before they’re stages. He talks about learning the way some people talk about faith ; steady, humble, always returning to the basics. He honours the craft by learning it slowly, properly, patiently.

For him, grounding comes from the quiet pulse of a kitchen rush, a micro screen lit up with orders, a team moving in rhythm, the hum and heat and heartbeat of service. “It brings me back to earth,” he says. “It gives me peace on my pass.” Chaos and clarity coexist in a way only chefs understand.

When he thinks about the chefs who’ll lead tomorrow, his reminds them first and foremost to pay attention to quality, to honour the work, and to respect the time it takes to make something worth serving.

So, here’s to Chef Sihle, to the wisdom woven through his story, to the grounding power of a busy pass, and to the reminder that mastery begins with learning again and again.
