Nigerian restaurant named among top 200 in South Africa

Hombaze African Cuisine, a restaurant in South Africa owned by a Nigerian, has emerged among the top 200 in that country, bagging the prestigious RASA/Rosetta Award.
The restaurant owned by Ken Ayere was nominated from more than 85,000 outlets spread across South Africa.
The Restaurants Association of South Africa (RASA), organisers of the awards, in a letter of nomination, said Hombaze was selected as a finalist for striving for service excellence and contribution to the uplift of the restaurant industry.
“It is in recognition of the highest honours for service excellence and overall contribution to the innovation and uplift of the industry. Your participation and involvement in the restaurant industry is valued, and we thank you for the contributions you make to ensure its ongoing success,” it said.
The association paid tributes to the management and members of staff of Hombaze for their passion, dedication and hard work.
“As a token of acknowledgement, we recognise your passion, talents, dedication, commitment and hard work for food and service of the highest standard. RASA is proud to be associated with restaurants of your calibre to be recognised and celebrated,” it said
The restaurateur, who has been residing in South Africa since 1996, is described by many South Africans as a worthy Nigerian ambassador who mentors compatriots.
Mr Ayere operates three restaurants in South Africa, including the one situated in high-brow Sandton mall adjacent to Nelson Mandela Square, as well as the one in Pretoria.
