Right there and then I knew I was hooked and knew that hospitality is what I always wanted.”Time at TNC??When talking about her time at TNC, Madingwane said: “I remember my time at TNC as a young student on the Pretoria Campus because I knew exactly what I wanted which was Hospitality and they gave me the knowledge and tools to achieve it TVET colleges are much better than mainstream Universities when it comes to instilling knowledge learned in class through practical application. In short, transferring skills is much easier and more practical through TVET Colleges. She recalls how obtaining her qualification through a TVET College was beneficial to her: “I believe TVET colleges are best than the mainstream universities when it comes to instilling the knowledge you learned in class through practical, in short transferring of skills is much easier and practical through TVET colleges.”Notable Achievements“The fact that we were able to start our own business from scratch and make it work for more than 10 years”. As a result, we have been able to grow our customer base and provide them with the best products and services they expect.”Madingwane aims to continue to serve her clients with quality products and make sure that she inspires people to do what they love and most importantly grow the township economy through job creation and youth entrepreneurship.Proudest Career Moment<figure class="image"><img src="https://tnc.edu.za/assets/img/uploads/tnc2.png"></figure>Some of Madingwane’s proudest career moments was when she appeared in the popular Sunday evening TV show, Our Perfect Wedding, for her outstanding work on the show. This elevated her career to new heights.“They’re a lot, remember it’s been 10 years but if I were to pick one, I’d say getting a call from the OPW team about an interview for the cake we were baking for a client. Seeing it all unfold on a national platform was surreal, that was how our clientele base grew and yes, we just started getting calls from OPW and then again featured on a show called ‘COME AGAIN’ for our signature desserts “ I couldn’t believe that the knowledge and skills I gained at TNC could make one’s dreams come true” she added.Motivating Young GirlsAs an advocate for young girls and women’s empowerment, Madingwane strongly believes dedication is key to achieving bigger things. “Be committed, focused, and passionate about what you want because it wasn’t easy and it’s still not”, she advised.<figure class="image"><img src="https://tnc.edu.za/assets/img/uploads/tnc3.png"></figure>
