Nando’s and Siya Kolisi launch limited-edition Siya Sauce

Nando’s customers will be able to try The Siya Sauce free of charge from 3 November, while stocks last. The limited-edition sauce is a collaboration between the restaurant brand and Springbok captain Siya Kolisi.

The offering will be available at Nando’s restaurants nationwide in South Africa. The sauce was unveiled on 31 October at the opening of the brand’s new restaurant in Stellenbosch.

Kolisi helped develop the sauce, with tasting samples forming part of the process. “A few samples later, we landed on something I could eat every day, on pretty much everything. That was the one for me,” he said.

The collaboration also includes bottle artwork by Pretoria-based illustrator Mpho Boshoga, bringing another contributor’s work into the product’s design.

“Nando’s has always had a unique way of bringing art and personality to the table, and this time they saw me,” Boshoga said.

The accompanying campaign features Kolisi’s friends Siv Ngesi, Sobantu Nqayi, Ray Malo, Vafa Naraghi, Nina Hastie, Jam Jam and Anton Taylor.

Jessica Wheeler, Nando’s chief brand and customer officer, said the intention was to give customers something fun to discover over the festive season.
