The Cape Town Hotel School recently celebrated the efforts of their students who excelled academically and showed commitment to the hospitality industry in 2016.

Several prizes were awarded during the glitzy Annual Awards ceremony, which was held on the Granger Bay Campus.

It was attended by captains of the hospitality industry who also donated the prizes handed over to the winners.

The students who scooped more than two awards were Jadre Swartbooi and third-year students Carl van Niekerk and Kelly Julie.

The biggest winner of the evening was Jadre as he scooped the prestigious University College Birmingham Scholarship valued at approximately R350 000 to complete his fourth year of studies.

Luvo Ntezo, Head Sommelier at One&Only Cape Town, was the guest speaker during the ceremony.

He said his life changed after he joined the One and Only Hotel in 2011 and added that being a sommelier was not just a job but a lifestyle.
