I\u2019ve constantly been tweaking my recipe and experimenting with that unique balance of spices. I\u2019m very happy with what I\u2019ve presented at the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruard Briel, a 37-year-old financial manager from Centurion emerged victorious, earning first place with his bang-on boerewors recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He walked away with a grand prize of a brand-new Toyota Fortuner 2.4 GD-6 RB AT worth R600 000, R20 000 in cash and the bragging rights of being crowned SA\u2019s boerewors champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His winning boerewors will be available at Shoprite and Checkers stores nationwide from Friday 6 September, just in time for Heritage Day celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second place went to Marthinus Verwey from Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in its 32nd year, the competition attracted a record number of over 2 300 entries submitted from all corners of the country. These were judged through various elimination rounds by the South African Chefs\u2019 Association (SACA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finale saw the top 10 cook and serve their boerewors to a panel of food experts that included Zanele van Zyl, Carmen Niehaus, James Khoza, Matthew Howcroft, Martin Kobald, and surprise wildcard judge, former Springbok lock Bakkies Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great privilege to be part of this competition, because boerewors brings people together,\u201d said Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Championship Boerewors is a favourite for Shoprite and Checkers customers, with 5 811 384 kg sold last year, enough to make boerewors rolls for more than 55 million people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s 8 274 km of Championship Boerewors, enough to cover the distance from Cape Town to Mumbai, India, or to fill the boots of 19 663 Toyota Fortuners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 top 10 Championship Boerewors finalists were: Ruard Briel (winner); Marthinus Verwey (second place); Jasper Gordon (third place); Moshasheni Mabotja from Polokwane; Werner Taljaard from Yzerfontein; Werner Gouws from Riviersonderend; Rasheed Hassen from Randfontein; Debbie Nel from Amanzimtoti; Ashook Beharie from Ladysmith; and Elrico Jansen from Kimberley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_6689809b\">\n<div
