All the love and fun of Valentine’s Day surrounded a meet-and-greet hosted by MultiChoice Zimbabwe on Tuesday when My Zim Plate host Bernadette Mutangara dispensed chocolates and other treats for fans.
My Zim Plate is a new series on DStv’s Honey channel in which Bernadette introduces viewers across Africa to the culinary delights of Zimbabwe, and the meet-and-greet enabled people to find out more about the show, which launched earlier this month.
MultiChoice Zimbabwe publicity and public relations manager Liz Dziva said people were thrilled by the treats and the interaction with the TV host, with a strong interest in the show and its presenter.
“As it was Valentine’s Day we had a meet-and-greet at our offices in PaSangano building in Avondale and at the Joina City Mall in the Harare CBD, so we invited Bernadette to offer delicacies from a chocolate fountain, as well as fruit and other sweet treats,” she said.
“During this delightful engagement, she promoted the show and many people were able to get to know her better. Our customers loved Valentine’s treat and we had a lot of positive feedback.
Bernadette has been interested in food since she was 10 years old when she started baking and doing other forms of cooking. Born and brought up in Kwekwe, her older sister, mother and grandmother taught her all about the ins and outs of cooking, and she used to cater for a range of family events.
In the past five years, she has launched and developed a cake-making business called Munchies and Melodies, providing not just baked goodies and other culinary treats but also lives entertainment, as she is a singer.
