Tumelo’s journey began humbly, starting as a batch cooker at McDonald’s SA in 2009.

Fueled by dedication and a passion for excellence, he worked his way up through the organisation. Helping shape major initiatives including the MDS delivery service and nationwide operational improvements.

Today, Tumelo brings that same drive for innovation and quality to Studex Meat, building a brand rooted in integrity, service, and premium South African Wagyu.

Behind every beautifully marbled slice of Wagyu is a story of dedication. Our team ensures that each cut is handled with precision, respecting both the animal and the culinary tradition it comes from. From pasture to plate, every step is carefully refined to bring out the natural richness, texture, and flavour Wagyu is famous for.

The result is a cut that doesn’t just taste exceptional, it feels exceptional. Juicy, tender, and full of character, our Wagyu is the perfect example of what happens when passion meets expertise.

At Studex Meats, our Wagyu beef is proudly certified by Certified Wagyu Beef (CWB).

This certification guarantees a minimum marble score of 3, ensuring
exceptional marbling and flavor. Our Wagyu is ethically produced to meet
the highest standards of animal welfare and quality.
