About the Author:
Ndoyiya grew up in Ezibeleni township in Komani. She is known across the world as former president Nelson Mandela’s personal and family chef.
Hers was a typical black household upbringing. She is the fourth of five children, with three older brothers, and working-class parents. “As the eldest daughter, you end up almost becoming like a Deputy Mother; and at home, we were a bit old school, so some chores were reserved for the girls,” she says.
Her first job as a chef was at the Coronation Hotel, in Johannesburg. She was introduced to Mandela by a friend.
After a rather puzzling experience where she was unwittingly subjected to an interview-cum-security-check, she met Tat’ uMandela.
