In remembrance of Chef Lesego Semenya
Kgomotso Moncho-Maripane
Chef, media personality and author Lesego Semenya, popularly known as LesDaChef, has died at age 39. Last week, Semenya shared he had tested positive for COVID-19 and kept his followers abreast with his medical journey.
The Soweto-born chef’s openness to sharing insights and breaking down misconceptions while highlighting the soul and heritage of our food is what endeared him to the public. He was passionate about culinary education. His mission was to “remove the snobbery from food and the hospitality world” and that’s part of what made him accessible.
The laid-back how-to videos and recipes from his 2019 YouTube channel, Dipitšeng, helped many cope when the country went into hard lockdown in early 2020.
