Siya Sauce

Nando’s has joined forces with Springbok captain Siya Kolisi on a limited-edition sauce, bringing together one of South Africa’s best-known sporting figures and a brand with a long history of celebrating local flavour and creativity.

A sauce made for sharing
The collaboration taps into the idea of bringing people together around food, whether at a family braai, a Sunday lunch or a table at Nando’s. For the brand, the aim was to create a flavour that could be enjoyed by South Africans with different tastes, rather than one that simply turns up the heat.

“Developing this sauce was so much fun. Nando’s has that South African spirit, and we got to explore local flavour while connecting with the people behind the process,” said Kolisi. “A few samples later, we landed on something I could eat every day, on pretty much everything. That was the one for me.”

The launch campaign brings that shared-table idea to life, featuring some of Kolisi’s real-life friends: Siv Ngesi, Sobantu Nqayi, Ray Malo, Vafa Naraghi, Nina Hastie, Jam Jam and Anton Taylor.

The film leans into the banter, laughter and occasional chaos that come with getting a group of friends around a good meal, perfect for a hot, South African, Festive, Summer.
