NOLA, the much-loved and widely recognised mayonnaise brand in all homes across South Africa, has finally announced the brand ambassadors for its #CreateAStir campaign for 2018/2019. Chef Lucia Mthiyane and Chef Mogau Seshoene, better known as the Lazy Makoti, have been identified as the two ambassadors for NOLA Mayonnaise.

NOLA is the creamier, and perfectly balanced mayonnaise which enables you to take any dish from bland to creamy deliciousness, without overpowering any of the ingredients. Both chefs will demonstrate to consumers the endless possibilities of adding a fresh and unique twist to the meals they love.

Mthiyane and Seshoene are excited about the opportunity to share the love and passion they have for cooking. They have left their 09:00 to 17:00 stable jobs in order to focus solely on doing what they love and share their delectable new recipes with you.

Previously a teacher before shifting her focus to acting, singing and now cooking, Mthiyane has been cooking for the past ten years. She got her talent for cooking from her family, as everyone in her family loves making magic in the kitchen. That is when she decided to turn her passion into a career and eventually, business that she is currently running.

Seshoene also quit her job four years ago to follow her passion. She started out by teaching individuals cooking skills and when the demand for lessons surpassed what she could handle, she decided to quit her job to focus entirely on what she does best. A few years later, she is now one of the best celebrity chefs in South Africa.

“We are excited about this partnership, as we have been watching both the chefs’ journeys and the skills they have developed to date. Both chefs have the ability to #CreateAStir with NOLA by adding a fresh twist to a simple traditional dish. They have literally taken ownership of any food moment, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner and through their passion for food and with Nola’s creamier texture; will be able to #CreateAStir this Summer,” says Nelia Nieuwoudt, NOLA Brand Manager.

Maintaining good personal hygiene and a healthy lifestyle are key to maintaining overall well-being. Personal hygiene helps to make you feel more confident and is linked to self-esteem: simple daily routines such as washing hands after using the bathroom or sneezing; taking a regular shower and staying hydrated can make a big difference in your physical and mental wellness.

Moist Toilet tissue has in recent years become popular with people who want to achieve a high level of freshness and cleanliness. When used after dry toilet tissue, Baby Soft® Moist Toilet Tissue removes whatever is left behind and leaves you feeling fresh and extra clean.

What’s more, these innovative, flushable, convenient and biodegradable moist toilet tissue wipes are also soothing on delicate skin, thanks to being lightly moistened with a pH-balanced formula which is ideal for sensitive skins.  They are available in 2 variants – Fresh White cotton fresh fragrance as well as Skin Kind which are enriched with Aloe Vera and Chamomile.

Flying under the radar (chickens notwithstanding), you’ll find some businesses that intrinsically put their people front and center. It’s always been that way at Nando’s, following their co-founder Robbie Brozin’s belief that it’s not only about the chicken, but “it’s the people who make the chicken” that matter first and foremost.

Each year, in the bustling heart of Lorentzville, Nando’s Central Kitchen gets Fired Up by their annual Griller’s Challenge event that serves as a celebration of the heroes behind the grill.

“Every turn of our flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken is timed and flavoured to perfection!  It’s so much more than simply “grilling”. What we do has become an art! Our “Nandocas”, the name we give to all members of our Nando’s family, embody the pride, passion, and heart that goes into making our  famous PERi-PERi chicken. We know that our strength lies in our people, that’s why we celebrate and recognise them,” says Mike Cathie, Chief Executive Officer, Nando’s South Africa. 

“Our Annual Griller’s challenge is more than just a competition. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Nando’s and reinforce our magic,” says Cathie. The Grillers Challenge starts regionally with 14 winners from each region then selected to battle it out at the National Competition!

Nando’s is proud to announce Mzanzi’s finest grillers who are firing it up across the country and who have been selected as this year’s Top Grillers at the Nando’s National Griller’s Challenge:

 

The National winners will go on to represent South Africa during a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the International Grillers Challenge to be held Sydney Australia in November this year. South African grillers will join winners from the Nando’s globe which is made up of over 30 countries from around the world to battle it out for the title of world’s best griller.

Recognising and celebrating it’s people is core to the Nando’s team, they understand that rewarding staff isn’t a nice to have, but a part of the DNA that sets them apart.
