Teen craves boerewors title
Cape Town - The big Province-Bulls derby at Loftus Versveld is not the only thing that will have Western Province holding its breath this weekend.
In another match of a totally different flavour, Province's hopes lie in the hands of a 15-year-old schoolboy.
Regional finalist Adriaan Venter of Moorreesburg will take part in the annual championship boerewors king competition at Sun City this weekend.
Adriaan, a Grade 9 pupil of the Hoërskool Swartland in Malmesbury, learnt the art of making wors from his father, Steven, manager of a butchery.
The teenager won one of the competition's 103 regional rounds in Paarl in August and was named provincial winner in September.
Youngest competitor yet
Shoprite-Checkers marketing manager Brian Weyers said it was the first time in the competition's 11-year history that such a young competitor had done so well in the provincial knock-out rounds.
Adriaan told Die Burger that he was looking forward to the Sun City challenge this weekend.
He said he had been working with meat since he was 10 and it was one of his hobbies - and, the recipe he entered for the competition was one he developed himself.
Domestic science was one of his favourite subjects at school.
What will he do if he wins the grand prize of a twin-cab Toyota Hilux 2.7 Raider?
"I will probably give it to my Dad."
Panel of nine judges
As for the future, regardless of whether he wins or not, Adriaan wants to follow in dad's footsteps and become a butchery manager.
The provincial winners will braai their special boerewors and serve it to nine South African food experts - some belonging to the South African Chefs Association - as well as well-known TV chefs.
The judges - Martin Kobald, Carmen Niehaus, Justin Drake, Citrum Khumalo, Jenny Morris, Francois Ferreira, Peter Veldsman, Dorah Sithole and Kevin Gibbs - will decide who will be the next boerewors king.
