After the adrenaline high, the boys treat Zama to an activity they know she’d enjoy as well: a lazy cruise along the river. For Bongani, his greatest motivation is his family – the most important thing in his life. He shares, “I love where we are and where we’re headed as a family.”
To end off the day, Private Chef, Damian Honneysett prepares the Mtolos a three course, fine-dining experience. With shrimp timbales for the starter, fillet mignon flambéed in brandy for the main, and a passionfruit and red berry cheesecake for dessert, Zama has got some serious competition in the kitchen. But, Bongani admits, his favourite food will always be whatever Zama cooks.
Bongani shares his go-to piece of advice for defying the norm: simply, be yourself. He explains his counter-cultural ideas, saying, “Because of social media, most people don’t really know who they are. If you want to defy the norm, be yourself, be original, and stop trying to be someone else. You are enough.”
