Mathabo was born in Tshwane but raised in Limpopo in a Sepedi speaking family. After Matric she went to the then Pietersburg Technical College where she studied Electrical Engineering and then went to the then Pretoria Technikon to continue with Electrical Engineering through a bursary from Telkom. Mathabo then went on to work as a Telkom Technician and then moved to the Call Centre and then end up as an Operations Manager until her daughter was born and she remained there to raise her in Tshwane.
When she was 1 year old they moved to KZN Mandeni, her husband’s hometown because of his employment in 2008. In that process Mathabo enrolled for a Christian Psychology Degree, however in the midst of it while mothering 2 children (daughter and son) Mathabo received a Word from her then Pastor Wallie in Mandeni who confirmed what she heard the Lord say while listening to his sermon; that she was called to proclaim the Gospel. From then on she moved from Christian Psychology to Theology with SATS where she completed her Honours Degree. In 2012 her family of four moved to Amanzimtoti where they joined Sweetwaters Church. Mathabo was still busy with her degree and within that year her pastor put her on the board as the Secretary of the Church Board where she still serves. When she finished her 1st Degree, she then entered the probation program of the Full Gospel Church where she served for 3 years whilst completing her Honours Degree. Her Pastor in 2016 said to her that they needed to start a Bible School, and thus they formed a partnership with SATS who provided them with the the Crossroads Course to teach. At the end of 5 years Crossroads was taught to over 15% of their local church and at least 10% of those in and out of their community. In 2018 they started to teach the Full Gospel Program of training pastors. In 2019 Mathabo was ordained as a Full Gospel minister and she is still part of the Pastoral Team at Sweetwaters Church where she leads various departments including the Bible School. Mathabo enjoys reading and hanging out with friends for a braai and a good laugh. ![]()

Bake Easy came into existence in 2018 when Carlene and her husband realised there was a shortage in the market for access to high quality, ready-to-bake products for the average household in Port Elizabeth.
Usually, these quality products were only available to restaurants and high-class hotels etc, but through their connections with the producers they were able to start procuring these products for resale to the public in easy to manage, household-sized quantities – From single people to large families! The basic qualifying criteria for any of the excellent products entering their freezers, are a) it must be easy to bake and b) it should leave as little dirty dishes afterwards as possible, if any! Originally starting out in Lorraine as a strictly online service delivering around town, the demand for a physical shop grew exponentially as new clients found them and wanted to be able to handle and view the products, so on 01 August 2019 the shop opened up at 65 – 4th Avenue, Newton Park, and they still have clients finding them for the first time every day, much to their happy delight! Bake Easy can easily boast that they stock the largest variety of easy-baking Croissants, Pies, Bread rolls and muffin batters in town. They pack their Pies individually so that it’s so easy to mix and match flavours, enabling one to cater to everyone’s taste without the need to be committed to one box of one flavour. Their muffin batters are premixed and only need to be defrosted before being piped into your muffin tray for baking - no additional ingredients or mixing required! Their unique Build-a-Platter Range offers clients the means to build up and bake their own platters, at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a readymade platter, and with freshness guaranteed. And that’s not even touching on the diverse collection of Slice & Bake Cookie Dough, Samosas and other products they keep! Oh, and did we mention many of their products bake as easily in an air fryer as it does in a conventional oven? They’ve also just launched their Loyalty Program with Yoyo Go, where clients can earn points for shopping in store with their bank card, which they can use on a variety of rewards! They have regular specials every month end, as well as occasional specials every other weekend - Keep in touch with them on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with the specials, new products and delicious recipes at Bake Easy PE. ![]()

Bokmakierie Wynbotiek & Penswinkel, was a restaurant that was opened through years of experience and an absolute passion for the Food & Beverage/ Hotel Management/ Catering industry. Jenny-Lee Luiters’ love for food & people was the inspiration.
July 2019, Jenny found the best spot for a restaurant with a growing potential to do functions etc. They opened August 2019 to the public, within 6months Bokmakierie was a hit and was in the start of its business peak/ business high. Who knew a pandemic was lurking.... when the hard lockdown was announced, who knew that, that would be the beginning of a fight to keep the restaurant open. Well she surely learned a lot. After 2years of fighting to save the restaurant through covid time, Jenny-Lee had to make the hardest decision yet. When you have started something from scratch, put so much of your time/energy/love into it...she felt that everything was crumbling around her. What about herstaff, they were/are like family to her, “we were there for each other through this whole covid fight”. Jenny is also a mother of a 5year old, she needed to generate some form of income. She gave every thought, every doubt, every tear to God and asked him to give her clarity. How does she move forward? Working for yourself for 10years does not make you the best candidate when you job hunt, even though you have so much knowledge to share. Knowing you can be an asset to a company, for some or other reason people think that you would not be able to work under authority. Which is so far from the truth. So when Jenny-Lee had to close Bokmakierie's doors, she decided that if Bokmakierie can't be a place, it will surely become a brand. Well, she started 3 weeks ago with her Bokmakierie Rustic Frozen Pizza Range and its already selling in a couple of outlets. People also order directly from her. It is homemade with love. Obviously, its a slow growth, because its a new division of the business, but Jenny’s blessed with having had the restaurant for people know the quality of her product. Jenny would like to grow her Bokmakierie Rustic Frozen Pizza Range business into more than just Pizza, into a business that teaches cooking skills in a Homemade way. Where people can feel the passion and love that goes into each ingredient. Skills can last you a lifetime and no-one can take it from you. She a very strong believer of skill training, because there will always be an open door. Jenny-Lee is truly blessed with an amazing support structure. That has stood with her through hard times. ![]()
