Johannesburg – Opel Distributor is proud to announce their new
partnership and Opel Brand Ambassador, Funky Executive Chef, Sizo Henna. We
believe that Sizo is the perfect ingredient for the Opel brand, thanks to his inspiring
outlook on life, and ability to bring his passion to many using his unique skills
to fuse international cuisine with South African flavours.
Internationally-travelled, master-chef trained, with a South
Africa base, Sizo is well known for his travel cooking show, ‘Rustic Chakala’
in which he delights viewers as the Afrocentric, charming cosmopolitan host and
Chef. He explores the modern yuppie African lifestyle through prominent guests,
art, music, destinations and cultures. The show gave him a platform to share
wholesome, homely and simple food that’s accessible to food lovers around the
world, while maintaining the balance between sophistication and rustic.
This energetic professional Chef, studied at London’s
prestigious Walthamstow Forest College and has catered for a variety of guests
while abroad, ranging from Whitehouse representatives, the Polish President and
directors from esteemed organisations. Sizo’s understanding and appreciation of
the ingredients that go into every culinary creation was gained while working
on a Watercress Farm in Southampton UK, fifteen years ago. Learning about
different cultures and cuisines is his passion – Swiss in Geneva, Indian in
Mumbai, Fish, chips and mushy peas in London, Foie-gras in France to creamy
Mngqusho back home in Biso, this is what Sizo brings to the table.
Sizo prides himself in being the Managing Director of Blaque
Olive, a private chef service established in 2009 to meet the high demand for
his culinary creations. In 2013, he ventured into corporate restaurant space
and plays proud host and Chef at Blaque Wine Bar and Grill House in Rosebank,
Johannesburg.
Sizo’s unique take on life and food reflects the
individuality, innovation, quality and accessibility characteristics which Opel
embraces. While his very simple business concept, ‘Do a stunning job every
time!’ teams perfectly with the Opel German Brand.
Opel – The Future is
Everyone’s
