Goba completed her Chefing Diploma at Prue Lithe Chef's Academy in Centurion Pretoria. "I learnt the whole aspect of being a chef from the different sections of the kitchen," Goba says. She discovered her love for cooking at a young age. "I liked helping my mom in the kitchen while I was growing up," says Goba, "so I started experimenting with food and just fell in love with the kitchen."
She aspires to work overseas in the coming years. "I am hoping to work in the UK, America or Dubai for a few years and then open my own gourmet deli bakery," she says. She aims at gaining her experience internationally. "I want to learn the different aspects of chefing and do learnerships at different places."
Goba chose the tourism industry as her career choice as chefing as been her life-long dream. "It is what I am good at and I enjoy doing it. I want to do this for the rest of my life. You get to meet a lot of different and interesting people in this industry," she concludes.
