At Phola Mzansi Social Enterprise, we were proud to host another impactful etiquette session through Phola Mzansi Institute of Etiquette and Presence, focusing on Dining and Table Etiquette. This session was led by Ncazelo Ncube-Mlilo, who is a certified Etiquette Consultant and Founder of Phola Mzansi Institute of Etiquette and Presence.

The session created a warm and professional learning environment where participants gathered around a beautifully prepared table setting to learn the importance of confidence, courtesy, and grace while dining. From understanding the correct placement of cutlery and glassware, to learning posture, napkin etiquette, conversation manners, and respectful behaviour at the table, each lesson was designed to equip participants with practical life skills that can be used in homes, workplaces, interviews, restaurants, and formal events.

Dining etiquette is more than knowing which fork to use—it is about self-respect, consideration for others, and presenting oneself with confidence in every setting. Through hands-on demonstrations and interactive guidance, participants were able to practice proper table manners in a safe and empowering space.

At Phola Mzansi, we believe etiquette and presence are powerful tools for personal development, leadership, and opportunity. We are proud to continue creating spaces where people can learn how to show up with dignity, confidence, and excellence.
