BURGER KING® SA crowns its first ever WHOPPER® Challenge champion

On 22 June 2017, the South African final took place at BURGER KING® N1 City in Cape Town. Regional winners went head to head showing off their skills as they set out to meet the strict judging criteria set in place to make the perfect gold standard WHOPPER®.

The three regional winners: Cynthia Nkhoesa from BURGER KING® Canal Walk (Western Cape), Lunghile Kwenda from BURGER KING® Centurion Lifestyle (Gauteng), and Fikile Nhlengechwa from BURGER KING® Richard’s Bay (Kwa Zulu Natal), showed the judges what makes them the best.
