The Gordon’s Bay Business Association hosted a spirited Potjiekos Competition at the Old Cape Mall, bringing residents together in a true celebration of local flavour on Saturday 30 August.
And it was a resounding success, described by visitors as a day that perfectly captured the “village spirit”.
Teams of amateur chefs set up their potjie pots, filling the air with the delicious aromas of their slow-cooked creations. Beyond the food, the event was a showcase of teamwork and camaraderie, with laughter and good cheer as the main ingredients.
The competition was fierce, but ultimately, only one team could take home the top prize.
The judges – Howard Ross from Palm Tyres, Suzie Wandrag of Women Fire Food, and Donovan Brown from the Gordon’s Bay Community Policing Forum – had the difficult task of sampling the delicious dishes and deciding the winners.
After careful consideration, the results were in: Best Team Spirit: Die Ramkat (GBSec and GBMed); third place: Kolskoot Radio; second place: Team Random Citizens (Spectre ICT); and first place: Krystal Beach Hotel.
The organisers thanked all the teams, supporters who came out to cheer them on, and the Gordon’s Bay Business Association for providing the platform.
