Entries for the 25th annual Championship Boerewors competition are open.
All wors pioneers, connoisseurs and enthusiasts with an exceptional traditional recipe, plus the skills to make boerewors from scratch, are encouraged to enter before Friday, 2 June.
Over the past 25 years, the title of Boerewors Champion has been conquered by Mzansi people from all walks of life – from housewives to butchery managers and even by a 13-year-old primary school pupil.
The South African Chefs Association is a recognised authority on food and will once again take charge of the judging, ensuring that all entries adhere to the guidelines for making truly traditional boerewors.
Entrants will battle it out in six championship rounds held nationwide on Saturday 1 and 8 July.
A total of 18 contestants, three winners from each round, will then proceed to the Top 18 round in Cape Town on Saturday 22 July, where the top three recipes will be chosen by a panel of expert judges from SACA.
The competition really heats up when the top three recipes will be available in Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets for people to buy, braai and vote for their favourite between 18 August and 8 September. By voting the public ultimately decide who the new boerewors champion is and stand a chance of winning their share of awesome prizes.
After the votes have been audited, the 2017 Championship Boerewors winner will be revealed on 13 September and the recipe will be available in stores from 15 September.
