North sees Kapana Cook-off, entries close today

June Shimuoshili
Nedbank Namibia, in conjunction with the Namibia Chefs Association, Meatma, Pick n Pay and Bakpro, are proudly anticipating the National Kapana Cook-off, Northern Round. On 30 June 2018, their esteemed judges will get to work to find the best kapana for the northern region. The event will take place in front of Pick n Pay, Ondangwa.

The response by Namibian entry level vendors has been both inspiring and exciting and there is great exhilaration as to what these skilled entry level vendors will prepare at the cook-off.

Professional chefs working in the northern region are also encouraged to enter to demonstrate their culinary expertise and special take on Namibia's most loved dish, kapana. Entries are open in both categories until today for the northern round of the competition.

Nedbank and the Kapana Cook-off sponsors are locked down in anticipation to see who will go through to the finals, which will take place in the capital city, Windhoek during the month of August.

Preliminary rounds will be held across Namibia and entrants are reminded of the following important closing dates:

Northern Round: Today

Coastal Round: 29 June 2018

Eastern Round: 6 July 2018

Central Round: 13 July 2018

The coveted prize of a fully fledged Kapana container shop along with a Nedbank bank account with a N$15 000 cash balance, SME training and mentorship is what all entry-level kapana vendors hope to win. The Kapana National Cook-off is one of the vehicles Nedbank Namibia utilises to reach out to the small players in the market to aid them in formalising their business operations. Entries are free and the competition is run nationally to ensure that no one is left behind, providing an opportunity many Kapana vendors only dream about.
