The spotlight belonged to Mogau Seshoene this past weekend as Nomndeni Mdakhi and her Agenda Women platform hosted a VIP brunch in her honour. The occasion marked the launch of Seshoene’s latest book, Hosting with The Lazy Makoti, and brought together a circle of women to celebrate her journey as a culinary entrepreneur and cultural storyteller.
Seshoene, known affectionately as The Lazy Makoti, has redefined South African home cooking, turning treasured family recipes into modern classics while elevating food as both heritage and lifestyle. With Hosting with The Lazy Makoti, she continues that mission, this time placing emphasis on the joy and art of bringing people together — a fitting theme for a brunch designed around connection.
Mdakhi, through Agenda Women, has long curated spaces that centre women’s achievements and amplify their impact. By honouring Seshoene’s new offering, she underscored the importance of not only consuming women’s work but also celebrating the hands that create it.
Styled by Martino Boutique and captured by Shots by Prof, the brunch was polished yet intimate, weaving together fashion, food, and conversation. It was a reminder that when women support women, they don’t just share in the moment — they set the table for something lasting.
