Hamburgers win at eating contest

No one won the R1 000 prize vouchers because no one could manage to eat all eight burgers.

Ready, steady….eat away! Contenders Erasmus Gwebana (left) and Kgotso Mabowa are ready to tackle their hamburgers and chips.

Most people like hamburgers…. But how many hamburgers can you eat in five minutes?

Kgotso Mabowa is struggling with his third hamburger.

The challenge was on at The Ridge Casino Hamburger Day Competition on Saturday, May 27.

Simangele Mabuza shows how a hamburger should be eaten.

Participants had to eat eight hamburgers (sliders) and a bowl of fries in five minutes.

Stuffing their mouths and gulping down water to get it down was clearly not how it’s done because not one of the participants managed to finish the burgers and fries in the set time, therefore no one could walk away with the prize which was vouchers worth R1 000.
