As we continue with acknowledging 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, we are honoured to speak with award-winning Executive Chef Jessica Munisamy, who oversees two top Gauteng restaurants, and who has experienced violent behaviour towards her in her career as chef.

While gender-based violence often occurs at home, Chef Jessica has been spat at and had things thrown at her in the kitchens she’s worked in, in the past. 

Jessica Munisamy has come up tops as a seasoned culinary professional with a passion for creating innovative and authentic Indian cuisine. With over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, Chef Jessica has honed her skills in prestigious establishments worldwide, including Dubai and Doha.
