Face of Nando's winners

From local is lekker to hyper-localisation: Township consumer trends to watch this festive season

Mongezi Mtati

The winners of Nando's Western Cape “Search for the Face of Nando's” were recently announced and they will represent the restaurant chain as brand ambassadors for a year.

The chosen winners had to exemplify all that the irreverent brand stands for - fun, vitality, lead a healthy lifestyle and be truly South African. The Western Cape is made up of such a unique set of cultures; Nando's was looking for bunch of girls and guys that showcases the diversity and energy of the fairest Cape.

Voting on Facebook

Entrants had to tell Nando's why they considered themselves as the best person for the job and also had to submit a photograph showcasing their best fit with the Nando's personality. A shortlist was published on Facebook at the end of last year and the members of the public finally voted for their favourites.

Four winners were ultimately chosen with an additional six as a support group. These new “faces” will be living the Peri-Peri life, visiting the local stores, attending VIP events and partaking in quirky adventures around Cape Town. They will also document their experiences through blogs, Twitter, Facebook and other media channels.
