About Us

The Background

Where It All Began

Tested Foods was founded by Thato Will Makhobela, a passionate South African entrepreneur dedicated to economic growth, youth empowerment, and community upliftment.

Previously known as Tested and Approved Trading Enterprise, the company was built on the belief that small and medium enterprises (SMMEs) are powerful drivers of financial relief and skills development in communities that were historically disadvantaged.

As a proudly South African business, our mission is to:

  • Create job opportunities for skilled and unskilled youth

  • Provide training and development opportunities

  • Promote African cuisines and cultural diversity

  • Contribute to the national economy

We believe in transparency, accountability, integrity, and long-term partnerships with our clients and business associates.

Our Objectives

  • To become a leading Events Management, Catering & Pastry Company

  • To provide national services across South Africa and internationally

  • To establish restaurants globally in the future

  • To create sustainable employment opportunities

  • To offer premium yet affordable culinary experiences

By December 2025, Tested Foods aims to empower more skilled and unskilled youth by providing training and employment opportunities within our communities
