South Campus dining — The South Campus can enjoy affordable, healthy food choices in the new food establishment, Dining@Kovsies.

Since the appointment of Dining@Kovsies in January this year, the South Campus community has been enjoying affordable, healthy meals.

Dining@Kovsies also offers students a safe space to gather and relax between classes. Ilze Nikolova from Housing and Residence Affairs, who is overseeing catering on the South Campus, says they are constantly looking at new ideas. “We also offer a variety of options on the menu and incorporate new items as requested by students. It’s important for us to have a close-knit relationship with our customers.”

Some of the food choices include a selection of salads, as well as a home-cooked meal consisting of a meat, starch, and vegetable option.

Simoné Nel, the Head of Support Services and Operations on the South Campus, says she personally tasted and enjoyed the chicken salad. “It was fresh, very tasty, and very affordable,” she remarks.

Dining@Kovsies also caters for vegetarians as well as other food requirements. “If we know there is a specific client with specific requirements, the client can make a request to our head chef, Lulama Lepheana, and she will gladly assist where possible,” says Nikolova.

“Vegetarians can specifically look forward to ordering the vegetarian burger, non-meat salads, or wraps. But if you are more of a meat eater, the chicken wings and ribs are winners. And for the sweet tooth, there is always the chewy, fudgy chocolate brownie that one can enjoy,” concludes Nikolova.
