The Muiz Kitchen

The kitchen is not only for serving food but also for interaction and connecting with different types of people, cultures and religions. We love what we do and all our meals are prepared and made with love which makes us unique and special.” – Angeline about the essence of the Muiz Kitchen A treasure hidden by the backdrops of the Muizenberg Mountain is probably the most welcoming kitchen you’ll find. The Muiz Kitchen is where the phrase, “for the community, by the community” could never be more unquestionably true. In March 2020, the Muiz Kitchen swung into action as an emergency response for food security as COVID-19 surfaced throughout South Africa. With the help of an abundance of volunteers, the community kitchen served about 200 to 300 people per day. However, as COVID-19 seemed to die down, so did the funding needed to support the project. Yet despite this, the passion to provide wholesome food for those in need never dwindled. The volunteering team behind this initiative shows what resilience means. Having moved more than 3 times and receiving no substantial funding, the kitchen still exists and offers meals to those in need (in Muizenberg's community garden) and to those who want to enjoy a sit-down meal at 150 Main Road.
