The 26-year-old from Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, has taken her passion to MasterChef SA Season 5. The new season premiered on S3 on Saturday, 13 July and she shared her experiences with Daily Sun.

Despite its brevity, it inspired me to continue recipe development and kickstart my private chef career,” Lesego said.“I don’t know if I’ll be eager to leap back into the MasterChef kitchen as a contestant, but maybe one day, I’ll return as a guest judge.”

 

Lesego mentioned her late brother as her inspiration for cooking, believing he’d be proud to see her on the show. “If my brother saw me cooking on national TV, he would say the judges need to have their tastebuds checked lovingly and caringly. He would tell me to keep my head high and believe in myself, but most importantly, he would tell me how proud he was to see me breaking out of my shell and showing the world what I’ve always kept hidden,” she said.The cook, who is also a food content creator, had challenges, fun, but most importantly, she learned a lot on the show.

“One thing I’ve learned from being on the show is not letting anything get in the way to fulfilling my passion. Cooking is a love I can’t and won’t give up on, no matter what,” she said.

When discussing the inevitable dry spells in any relationship, Salamina emphasised that such periods are a natural part of the journey. Howza chimed in, highlighting their long-term commitment

“When our firstborn Tumelo came into the world, I was overwhelmed by the enormity of becoming a father. Being part of the entertainment industry, one tends to maintain a small circle, limited to a select few with whom you can truly be vulnerable. The experience left me utterly overwhelmed,” he admitted.

“However, witnessing the incredible sacrifices you made as a woman before and after giving birth, my love for you deepened far beyond my expectations. I saw the sacrifices where your intention is to build.”
