Stellenbosch-based non-governmental organization, Bergzicht Training and Development, honoured Working Alumni at their 6th Annual Celebration Day on 13 November 2024. Situated in the heart of the winelands, their mission is to empower and inspire disadvantaged persons with little formal education, by equipping them with the skills that they need to extricate themselves from impoverished circumstances.
Lanzerac is incredibly proud, as one of our team members, Commis Chef Vuyiseka Xatasi, was crowned with the Top Achiever Award.
She expressed her gratitude, saying, “This is how Bergzicht thanks a person for one’s hard work and makes one feel appreciated. It makes me very proud of myself after having gone through a personal ordeal through which I persevered. The recognition showed me that I am a strong woman, and that God is always with me. Bergzicht motivates you to always do your best to deliver, and this win of mine should motivate others to always give their best in everything they undertake in life.”
From the heart of Executive Chef, Stephen Fraser, “Her hard work reflects the values instilled in her during her training. Keep striving toward your bright future and inspiring tomorrow’s graduates!”
Congratulations Vuyiseka for earning this well-deserved award, your dedication and outstanding contribution to not only Lanzerac, but also the industry.
