    KFC TASTE KITCHEN power couple wins R1 MILLION

    It has been a 13-week journey of cooking challenges, twists and turns, taste sensations, peppered with a touch of drama.

    But like all good things, the first season of KFC Taste Kitchen has come to an end . . . but it’s a new beginning for Ali Nangamso and Nosizwe Mji, who were named the winners in a riveting finale that aired on Friday, 6 October at 19:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161).

    The culinary power couple, whose love and support for each other came alive on screen, won KFC’s first-ever reality cooking show, and took home the coveted R1 million rand prize as well as the title of the Ultimate Home Cooking Duo.

    The runner-ups were Natasha Gumede and Nandi Tshabalala who walked away with another amazing prize of half a million.

    The show launched in July, and over 13 weeks, we witnessed 11 duo’s dish up a range of localized KFC sides that were innovative and authentic to complement KFC’s Original Recipe® Chicken.
