Hackers, posing as AbaQulusi’s municipal manger, Bonga Ntanzi, made an audacious attempt to steal R175 000 from the town’s coffers recently.

For the second year running, Julia Zwane has been crowned a Master Baker.

Mugg and Bean Newcastle is ecstatic after its baker won for a second time in a row, at the Franchise Regional Competition. The award was presented to her at the event in Durban in September.

Zwane truly has the magic touch when it comes to baking cakes, as she explained her love for the pastry industry:

“Funnily enough, I didn’t study any course towards becoming a Master Baker. My experience with baking came through Mugg and Bean when I took up training in 2012. From there, I made sure I put in 100 per cent into anything I baked.”
