After extensive research during 2000, Phalaborwa College identified the gap in the market in terms of training in the field of hospitality and catering.
The intentions of management were to expand the College’s range of services into programmes supporting tourism. These programmes include hospitality and catering,
wildlife management and eco-tourism.
Mošate Hotel School is the only hotel school in the Limpopo Province and Mpumalanga and the only one to cater specifically for the needs of the Lodges!
Since its inception, a bare 18 months ago, the School and its students have proved that the trust placed in them was not in vain, for they have excelled in many ways.
They took part in the Bush Banquet and were placed second in the Gold Table class and third in the Silver Table class. They were amongst the first ten out of 28 Lodges in the category of food and wine. Their competition came from Lodges such as Kapama, Royal Malewane, Singita, Makalali, Sabi Sands and Londolozi.
Functions are regularly organized and catered for by Mošate Hotel School and recently they held a high tea for 200 ladies. Weddings and smaller, intimate functions regularly form part of their duties.
