She first moved to Alex to complete a learnership programme while helping a relative with babysitting duties. In 2014, she secured a job at a major retail chain &#8211; a stable income and a promising path. But life took an unexpected turn when her child developed a serious heart condition. With no option but to choose between career and caretaking, she made the brave decision to resign and return home full-time.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than seeing it as a setback, Rose turned her circumstances into opportunity. She noticed that her community had a gap &#8211; people were hungry, but there was no reliable source of home-cooked meals in the area. So she began cooking. What started as a survival tactic quickly grew into Rose Gold Food Cuisine &#8211; a hotspot that now serves a broad range of African dishes tailored to different tastes and preferences. From hearty stews to lighter plates, her food is more than a meal; it&#8217;s comfort, culture and consistency.<\/p>\n<p>But entrepreneurship comes with rhythm. On good days &#8211; often month-end rush &#8211; she makes between R800 and R1,200 in sales. Yet, on quieter mid-month days, she sometimes brings in as little as R100 to R300, making financial planning difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Still, her resilience doesn&#8217;t waver. Rose&#8217;s dream is bigger than her current stall. She envisions growing Rose Gold Food Cuisine into a lifestyle corner restaurant, expanding into multiple townships, and creating a space where food, music, culture and connection live under one roof. For her, cooking isn&#8217;t just income &#8211; it&#8217;s the vehicle to build something lasting.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  itemprop=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png\" alt=\"LogoReciprocity\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"65\" width=\"109\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png 109w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity-18x12.png 18w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.london.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  itemprop=\"url\" title=\"LogoLBS\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS.jpg\" alt=\"LogoLBS\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"72\" width=\"72\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"LogoLBS\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS.jpg 72w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS-12x12.jpg 12w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome About Alex Your Clients Useful Resources Groupe 5 &#8211; Rose Kekana &#038; Rose Gold Food Cuisine Born in a small village near Hammanskraal in the rural northern outskirts of Pretoria, Rose Kekana never imagined she would one day become one of Alexandra&#8217;s most beloved food vendors.
