OUR FOUNDER

Leeto Tlou is the Founder & CEO of Chakalaka Brands. He learned about Chakalaka while visiting South Africa, and wanted to introduce the dish to American audiences. He was amazed by the taste of the dish and the fact that it aligned with his family’s history and culture.

He is passionate about sharing the vibrant flavors and cultures of the world through food, and believes that food has the power to connect people and awaken their senses. Chakalaka's products are designed to enliven the palate and inspire people to explore cuisines from different cultures and regions.
