Who do you call on when you need a celebrity to show up on your quest for success? Twitter…black twitter to be exact. After the likes of singer, Yonela Mnyanda, who got an opportunity to feature on DJ Black Coffee’s song, and the struggling student who Bonang Matheba helped take to school last year, celebs have been doing the most in the social responsibility department.
Man of the moment, Cassper Nyovest is the latest star to give a Twitter user a much deserved opportunity of a lifetime. It all started when Luyanda Mafanya sent this tantalising tweet to Cassper and asked if the rapper would allow her to cater a small dinner party for him, and ultimately hire her as his private chef.
@CassperNyovest abuti please let me do a small dinner party for you then you can hire me as your private chef pic.twitter.com/FL8guid8QK

The Thuto album penner hit back with a tweet of his own and challenged the chef to get 10 000 retweets before he would consider the request.
Dam, this food look mad expensive doe…. 10 000 RTs then we’ll do the Dinner… then we’ll speak about the rest after the dinner. Deal? https://t.co/H0Ad1yurXJ

Tweeps, along with the celebrities, did their bit and offered Luyanda a helping hand in hopes of getting her tweet to 10 000 retweets.

Luyanda only needs 690 more RT to cook for Cassper’s dinner party. Please do the right thing and help her reach her target.

In a matter of hours, Luyanda had received well over 10 000 retweets and reported back to the rapper:

Cass kept to his word and hit Luyanda back with a promise of a dinner meeting to discuss business further.

As expected black Twitter went buck at the news and congratulated Cassper for doing good by the young chef.
Cass, you’re the best!! ✌

While it is not yet known when the private dinner will take place, according to Tshisa Live, Luyanda is planning to whip a “healthy yet hearty” meal for the soirée. This will consist of a starter (tomato tart), main (roasted baby chicken) and a dessert (crème brûlée)
Luyanda will also cleverly incorporate Ciroc – the premium Vodka brand which Cassper recently partnered with – to her dessert. Since her first tweet, Luyanda has also received great media publicity, including an interview with SABC Sesotho radio station, Lesedi FM.
Big up to Cassper for giving a young chef the opportunity to shine and succeed. And kudos to Luyanda for being gutsy about her dreams.
