Lovely blog, Connie definitely has a very special place in my heart in the kitchen, when she is not chasing me out of the kitchen with a chef’s knife menacingly resting in her hand for stealing a piece of bacon she is giving me the biggest bear hug for not having seen me around for a few days. I look forward to working with Connie for many many more years!

What a lovely write-up about a very special lady. Thank you Anna and Connie.

One more reason to love Londolozi.

Mamma Connie, My Friend, I miss you everyday! You are an incredible gift to Londolozi and everyone privileged enough to meet you!

Congratulations Connie. You’d better still be at Londolozi when my grandson Henry, three years old now, comes to visit you when he gets a bit older — maybe in five or six years.

Thank you Dave – yes i will definitely still be here and look forward to welcoming you and Henry to Londolozi!
