Introducing the Nando’s Siya Sauce

Nando’s officially unveiled its latest collab with Springbok captain and national treasure Siya Kolisi on Saturday, 31 October, at the opening of its new bespoke restaurant in Stellenbosch. The result? The limited-edition Siya Sauce, available in Nando’s restaurants nationwide from 3 November 2026.


But before you start preparing your tastebuds for a full-contact flavour experience, there’s something South Africa should know.

Turns out, Siya is a pretty mild guy.

Developed alongside Siya and filled with his favourite flavours, the sauce is rich with garlic, bright citrus notes and a gentle smoky finish. While it carries the name of one of the toughest players ever to pull on a green-and-gold jersey, the heat is anything but. Created specifically for South Africans of all tastes to enjoy.
More than a new sauce, the collaboration celebrates a simple truth: no South African success story is built alone. Whether it’s a packed stadium, a family braai, a Sunday lunch or a meal around a Nando’s table, there’s always a team behind the moment. That’s why it was important that the new Siya Sauce would appeal to just about anyone.

Michael Movie Review

“Michael” is an intense cinematic ride and perfectly captures the King of Pop’s life from 1966 to 1988.

Watching it on the newly opened largest IMAX screen in Gauteng at The Zone @ Rosebank made the experience even more unforgettable. The visuals, the sound, and the overall atmosphere elevated every moment on screen.

This film pulls you in with powerful storytelling, strong performances, especially from Jaafar Jackson as Michael, and emotional moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. It’s bold, gripping, and beautifully shot, with a soundtrack that adds even more depth to the experience.

For me, Michael Jackson was such an integral part of my teens and tweens. His music, his energy, and his larger-than-life presence shaped so many memories from that time. Watching this film felt nostalgic, emotional, and a reminder of just how much of an impact he had on an entire generation.

Nine Lives Supper Club Review

Nine Lives Supper Club is a hidden gem tucked away in a sleek, sophisticated oasis between the 4th and 5th floors of The Hyde Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

I attended the launch, and it was pure magic. Sleek lines, stylish design, and just the right kind of quiet, yet sexy, luxury that Joburg has been craving. The menu may be small, but every bite is a masterpiece. Their smoked olives are a revelation, and the cocktails/mocktails are worth every rand. Plus, they’ve even got Russian caviar flown in fresh from Moldova. It’s on the pricier side, but this is what you expect from a spot this refined.

Overall, Nine Lives is a sophisticated, sexy supper club, where you can experience curated tapas type food and drinks, with a small selection of main courses.
