My sister has been studying since the later half of last year. She was accepted into IHESA and since then has completed her course in Patisserie and will be completing her course in Professional Cookery in June this year.

In the middle of that, she enrolled at SABA – South African Butler Academy and graduated as a Butler, Cum Laude and a total of 98% (highest in the year!), a few weeks ago.

I was lucky enough to attend the intimate graduation ceremony, along with her boyfriend, held at a Villa in Camp’s Bay. I took my camera along and took some photos. Since the event was mainy a visual one, with people mingling and chatting while the new Butlers prepared platters and drinks, I’ll post a few collages I put together to better depict the event rather than not do it justice with my fumbled words.

Finally, let me say I am so proud of my sister for all she’s accomplished. It hasnt been easy doing three fulltime courses at once, all the while keeping an after hours job to pay for it all, but somehow she did it.
