The Youngest in the Kitchen: Mahlatse’s Inspiring MasterChef SA Journey

He might have bowed out on a rice challenge, but Mahlatse Mongatane is still the king of the kitchen in our eyes! 👑 This episode of Afternoons with Zweli welcomes the 23-year-old Polokwane native who won our hearts (and a cool R50,000 in the chocolate challenge!) on the latest season of MasterChef South Africa. Mahlatse takes us back to where it all began baking muffins at age 12 and shares the highs and lows of being the competition's youngest contestant. We’re talking about that emotional exit, the secret to the perfect eclair, and his big dreams for Hlatsis Bakes. Whether you’re a fan of the show or just love a story of pure perseverance, this conversation with SA’s rising pastry star is exactly the mid-afternoon treat you need! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media      947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
