At Boxer, food is about more than feeding families — it’s about culture, tradition and connection.
That’s why Boxer is proud to partner with Nyama Battle, a show that celebrates the vibrant street food culture and rich cooking traditions found across South Africa.
What is Nyama Battle?
Nyama Battle is a dynamic cooking competition that shines a spotlight on South African street food, homegrown flavours and the stories behind them.
From township classics to modern twists on traditional favourites, the show brings together passionate cooks who showcase the diversity, creativity and heritage of local cuisine.
While fire, smoke and grills may feature, Nyama Battle goes far beyond meat. It’s about bold flavours, technique, heritage and pride — the everyday food that brings people together at taxi ranks, street corners, family gatherings and community events.
A Natural Partnership with Boxer
Boxer has always stood for value, accessibility and community.
Our customers are everyday South Africans who cook with heart — using familiar ingredients to create meals that carry meaning, memory and tradition.
Nyama Battle reflects these same values:
- Celebrating authentic South African food culture
- Highlighting everyday cooks and local talent
- Showcasing food that is affordable, accessible and proudly local
- This partnership brings Boxer closer to the kitchens, streets and stories that matter most to our communities.
- Supporting South African Food Traditions
Through Nyama Battle, Boxer supports a platform that honours:
- Street food vendors and home cooks
- Regional flavours and cultural diversity
- The traditions passed down through generations
- It’s a reminder that great food doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be made with passion, pride and the right ingredients.
More Than a Competition
Nyama Battle is not just about who wins.
It’s about storytelling, heritage and celebrating the everyday food heroes who keep South African cuisine alive and evolving.
Boxer is proud to be part of that journey — supporting local flavour, local stories and local communities, one meal at a time.
