Twenty-three-year-old Welcome Magoso from Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal was crowned the winner of the 30th Championship Boerewors competition.  

 

“I can’t believe I won this competition on my first try - it hasn’t sunk in yet!  When I entered, I didn’t think I’d win, but as the competition progressed and I was named a Top 10 finalist, I started to believe that I could make it,” he said.

His winning recipe will be for sale in Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets nationwide from 9 September 2022, just in time for Heritage Day.
