Launched in December 2024 by three dynamic women, A Harvest Table is celebrating a full year of creating immersive foodie experiences. On December 20, founders Innocentia Kunene, Nolundi Walaza Kunene and Lusanda Mgoduka are hosting their last event of the year: A Harvest Table in a Rose Garden. Taking place at Murambi Roses, the event is set to be a colourful culinary adventure and will feature a multi-course Thai-inspired tasting menu by chef Vuyolwethu Samuel Makoba.
Mthatha-born Makoba, 29, has seen his hard work and dedication lead him to work in some of the best kitchens in SA, including The Test Kitchen, Shortmarket Club, Chef’s Warehouse, and more. “A Harvest Table was born from a vision to elevate culinary storytelling and celebrate black excellence in SA’s food and design industry. “We wanted to create something beyond traditional catering or event decoration,” Mgoduka said.
She has a decade of experience as a producer and director in the film and storytelling industry. “We envisioned immersive dining experiences where food becomes art and tells stories of culture, community and heritage.” All three women have worked in different fields, each bringing something different to the table. Kunene offers up her vast marketing, communications and event expertise, while Walaza Kunene has more than 10 years of experience as a social and economic development specialist.
