Potjiekos aromas filled George Hay Park to raise funds for Nicarela Charity
Funds raised at the potjiekos competition will go towards the Nicarela Charity.
Mutton, beef, chicken, seafood, and vegetables were some of the potjiekos competition staples which filled the atmosphere at George Hay Park in Parkview on July 28.
There were over 30 pots, including vegetarian options, and contestants were judged on their food, vibe, and decoration.
All proceeds from the day went entirely to charity beneficiaries, including care homes for abused women and children and local school bursaries.
The winners of the competition were :
• 3rd: The Island
• 2nd: Bastion Tribal Council
• 1st: Hungry Pigs
Other winners included:
• Decor: Bastion Tribal Council
• Gees: Souties can also potjie
• Generosity: The Island
Nicarela Charity’s chairperson Daneela Jordaan said the 2024 Parkview Potjiekos competition was a success, and figures suggest that almost 2000 meals were sold and they raised R200 000 more than the previous year.
“This event shows the power of community. We are immensely grateful to the Parkview and surrounding communities who came to support on the day, the contestants who donated so generously, and our many sponsors who donated funds and supplies to the day.”
Jorden said he looked forward to the Parkview Christmas Market, which would be held in November.
