We were on the West Rand in Joziburg on Wednesday's second episode of Come Dine with Me South Africa 9 with four fiesty femmes and a husband served on the side.
Dinner hosts for the evening were:
- content creator and pop art fan Morgan Ballantyne,
- Scandal! and MTV Shuga actress and influencer Stephanie Ndlovu, whose hubby hubs Hungani gatecrashed her party to improvise with the guests,
- picky entrepreneur Walda Nxanga, whose home suggested she's made mega moolah,
- and Eve Solomons, who refused to let anyone forget that she was Mrs Johannesburg 2022.
While Eve flashed her crown as Her Majesty, she became particularly competitive with Walda and it worked because she won the R10,000 plate. Lookout for her in a pageant on The Pageant Channel (S3) soon!
These are everyone's recipes:
