Exquisite Bakes By Chef Sefako
Baking has been portrayed as a traditionally feminine activity, so naturally it has evolved into being labeled as a thing that men do not have place in the kitchen. Meet kealeboga Sefako, commonly known as Chef Sefako. He is a gentleman from Mochudi who has surpassed the stereotype around culinary field and made an amazing business for himself that has proven to blossom. What made him start his own business is the reason that he hasn’t seen any man who does cakes like him so he found a gap and used the chance to create his unique business.
Before starting his business in September 2019 Chef Sefako was working in one of the busiest and popular casual dining restaurant in Gaborone as a sous chef/ kitchen supervisor. He later sacrificed the income he was getting to become his own boss. As all in one chef, he does not only make cakes but does catering also. He mentioned that the most challenging thing about his business is the fact that most of the stuffs that he uses are made outside Botswana. So if they get finished locally it means the business stops, more especially that we are faced by the Covid 19.
