Meat masters in action!

At Deli Spices, we take training seriously because it’s what keeps our customers and teams a cut above the rest. That’s why our Area Managers are equipped with hands-on expertise to lead with confidence.

Recently, our Midrand, Mbombela and Limpopo teams rolled up their sleeves for an intensive, practical training session. From perfecting blends, to mastering boerewors, sausage and burger making, to honing skills in biltong and droëwors preparation, they covered it all.

Congratulations to our newly-sharpened meat masters:
Arno Pienaar, Desiree van Niekerk, Deon du Toit, Dennis Mothapo, Dineo Modiba, Etienne Erasmus, Francois Carstens, Jan Labuschagne, Mauritz Swart, Melody Beukes, Mpho Rametsi, Ramadibe Modishane, Riaan Steyn, Samora Zwane and Sharne Botes.

Well done, team and thank you for continuing to lead the way in excellence and expertise!
