Some fun facts about the Championship Boerewors competition

For the past 26 years, Shoprite and Checkers have hosted the Championship Boerewors competition in order to find and present consumers with the country’s number one product.

The Championship Boerewors title has been held by South Africans from all walks of life, from housewives to butchery managers and even a 13-year old primary school pupil.

Between 1993 and 2000, it was an internal competition and only Shoprite or Checkers employees could enter.

But from 2001, the Championship Boerewors competition has also been open to members of the public.

AT LAST. Yvonne Blaauw has been entering for 15 years.
