Umlazi’s Welcome Magoso crowned 2022 Championship Boerewors Competition winner
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.
Magoso is employed as a Senior Meat Technician at Checkers Galleria after joining the retailer on a learnership in December 2019.
His winning recipe will be for sale in Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets nationwide from 9 September 2022, just in time for Heritage Day.
Apart from the coveted title of 2022 Championship Boerewors winner, Magoso also drives away with the grand prize, a brand-new Toyota Fortuner 2.4 GD-6 4X2 6AT.
Second and third place went to Christiaan Roodt (from Cradock, Eastern Cape) and Delano Jasper (from Wellington, Western Cape) respectively.
