Away from the camera she’s been working hard, cooking waya waya as though taking tips from a celebrity TV chef.
Whether this star is dishing up a delicious umfino or umngqusho, creating a prawn cocktail or rustling up a North Indian curry, she always produces something exceptional.

Lucia’s series of star-studded infomercials currently on air on SABC2 have introduced her many fans to a whole new side of her.
