Clarence Ford speaks with Ruad Briel, 2024 Checkers Championship Boerewors winner.
Listen below.
After almost a decade of perfecting his recipe, Briel has emerged victorious in this year's Checkers Championship Boerewors competition.
The 37-year-old financial manager from Centurion battled it out against nine other finalists at the grand finale held in Stellenbosch on 24 August.
As the winner, he walks away with 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 South Africa’s boerewors champion.
His champion boerewors will be available at Shoprite and Checkers stores from 6 September.
Briel says this winning recipe comes down to the balance of flavours and textures.
This was his seventh attempt, making slight changes every year.
“I have just been tweaking my recipe constantly.”
