An exclusive cook along event dedicated to woman’s health and wellness.
On Saturday, the 3rd of August, CTIA hosted a special cook along event with The Lazy Makoti (CTIA alumni) in celebration of Women’s Month. The event brought together a group of remarkable women from different walks of life.
The morning started off with a fruitful panel discussion between Corli Prinsloo, Aziwe Booi, Louise Oldham and The Lazy Makoti (Mogau Seshoene). This was followed by an engaging cook along in the kitchen which the attendees thoroughly enjoyed. After all the buzz in the kitchen came to an end, the attendees sat down for a family style lunch and got to network and mingle over a lovely meal and glass of bubbly.
