Parkview’s community made Nicarela’s Potjiekos competition successful
Proceeds will go towards the Nicarela Charity.
Nicarela’s annual Potjiekos competition returned to George Hay Park in Parkview on July 27.
Last year’s event raised over R200 000, directly funding support homes for women and children, university bursaries for youth who would otherwise be left behind and emergency food relief.
Locals showed up in droves with their families to the competition, while children enjoyed face paintings, swings and the jumping castle.
This beloved fundraiser was more than a cook-off with 40 teams serving everything from lamb to vegan options, a family-friendly setup, and prizes for best potjie and best decorated stall. It was the perfect weekend outing with a purpose.
All proceeds will go directly to Nicarela’s work in:
- Supporting care homes for abused women and children.
- Providing educational bursaries for deserving students.
- Running food security programmes in under-resourced areas.
Nicarela is a volunteer-driven organisation committed to making a positive impact in the community.
The charity focuses on making education accessible, supporting orphanages, providing food for those in need, and helping families in crisis.
Through major fundraising events like the Potjiekos competition and Parkview Christmas Market, Nicarela delivers financial assistance and personal care to those facing challenging circumstances.
