TESTIMONIALS
First and foremost, Ruth is hardworking, skilled and reliable. She was a key kitchen staff member for us who consistently delivered high quality on the line. Ruth was consistently on time, prepped and ready to work and was eager to assist in any way to make the kitchen function most effectively. I enjoyed working with Ruth and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future. I wish her continued success.

Rutendo Marovatsanga was employed as a Front of House restaurant Manager. Ruth is highly skilled in working on Pilot POS, Microsoft office suite and Dineplan. She is well spoken, educated and takes initiative when a pressing moment arises. Furthermore, she is reliable and dependable. She has an accommodating demeanor dealing with clients, I would most certainly have her on my team again should the opportunity arise.

Village Unhu is situated in Harare and operates as a gallery for exhibitions for contemporary art and artists. Ruth worked hand in hand with myself creating meaningful and programs, improving in areas lacking. She was a key asset during the residency programs that saw 6 artists visit, stay and work at the studios. Ruth was instrumental in the renovation of the new veranda bar and restaurant. We highly comment and support Ruth.
