Popular kykNET Breakfast Show, “OntbytSake”, Donates 6 700 Litres Of Soup For Mandela Day

Ontbytsake, the popular kykNET breakfast show (channel 144), which focuses on giving small and medium-sized businesses national exposure, has become an indispensable part of many South Africans’ weekend morning routine.

The dynamic team behind the show − Dawie Roodt (economist), Leon Gropp (musician), Eloise Cupido (actress), Corli Botha (chef) and the production crew − are always up for a challenge, trying to make a difference wherever possible.

It should therefore come as no surprize that they did not hesitate to roll up their sleeves and get involved when kitchen sponsor, AEG, challenged them to participate in Chefs with Compassion’s annual soup challenge on 18 July 2022.

Chefs with Compassion is the biggest annual collaboration of cooks, communities and corporates, cooking for a cause. The aim of this initiative is to provide 67 000 litres of soup to hungry South Africans across the country on Mandela Day (18 July 2022).

In collaboration with The B-Loved Foundation, a non-profit organization, created to support struggling communities by The B4i Project (the umbrella company that owns Ontbytsake), the team has promised to donate 10% (6 700 litres) of the total soup target.

A high-quality dry soup mixture that can effortlessly be converted into a nutritious and delicious soup, will be used for this purpose. During Corli’s segment (between 07:30 and 08:00) this coming Saturday (16 July 2022), she will be demonstrating what the mixture looks like and how easy it is to prepare.

The 67 000-litre soup challenge was launched in 2020 in honour of Mandela Day and has fed close to 600 000 hungry people ever since.

In addition to preparing soup themselves, people can also contribute by making a donation to The B-Loved Foundation, who will be distributing soup to various charity organisations in Gauteng.

It is important for our country to uplift women where possible. The B-Loved Foundation is dedicated to providing food to the less fortunate on Mandela Day, especially to resilient women and children,” says Octavia Ephraim, director of The B-Loved Foundation.

Ontbytsake and The B-Loved Foundation challenges other television programs to also participate and do their bit to feed the hungry this winter.

67 000 litres of soup will not solve our country’s problems, but strong leadership will. ‘Onbytsake’ supports the reconciliation leadership that Nelson Mandela put forward and, with that in mind, wants to help make a difference on Mandela Day,” concludes Louis Mclaren, executive producer of Onbytsake and group CEO of The B4i Project.


Gewilde kykNet Oggendprogram, “Ontbytsake”, Skenk 6700 Liter Sop Vir Mandela-dag

Ontbytsake, die gewilde kykNET-ontbytprogram (kanaal 144) wat daarop fokus om vir klein- en medium-sakeondernemings nasionale blootstelling te gee, is al so deel van Afrikaanssprekendes se Saterdagoggend soos ’n lekker koppie boeretroos.

Die dinamiese span – Dawie Roodt (ekonoom), Leon Gropp (musikant), Eloise Cupido (aktrise), Corli Botha (sjef) en die produksiepersoneel – agter hierdie geliefde program sê nie sommer nee vir ’n uitdaging nie en probeer om altyd ’n verskil te maak waar hulle kan.

Daarom het hulle nie twee keer gedink om betrokke te raak toe hulle kombuisborg, AEG, hulle uitdaag om deel te neem aan Chefs with Compassion se jaarlikse sop-uitdaging op 18 Julie 2022 nie.

Chefs with Compassion is die grootste jaarlikse samewerking van sjefs, gemeenskappe en groot besighede om ’n verskil te maak, en vanjaar beoog hulle om op Mandela-dag (18 Julie 2022), 67 000 liter sop te maak en te skenk aan verskeie welsynsorganisasies wat kos aan behoeftiges voorsien.

In samewerking met The B-Loved Foundation, ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat deur The B4i Project (die oorhoofse maatskappy waaraan Ontbytsake ook behoort) gestig is om minderbevoorregte gemeenskappe te ondersteun, het die Ontbytsake-span onderneem om 10% (dus 6 700 liter) van die totale sop-teiken by te dra.

’n Hoë kwaliteit droë sopmengsel, wat vinnig in ’n voedsame, heerlike sop omskep kan word, gaan gebruik word. Corli sal eerskomende Saterdag (16 Julie 2022) tussen 07:30 en 08:00 op die program wys hoe dit lyk en hoe vinnig dit is om te maak.  

Die 67 000 liter-sopuitdaging het op Mandela-dag in 2020 afgeskop en het sedertdien al aan sowat 600 000 honger mense kos voorsien.

Buiten daarvoor om self sop te maak, kan belangstellendes ook help deur skenkings te maak aan The B-Loved Foundation wat die sop op grondvlak sal versprei aan uitgesoekte begunstigdes in Gauteng.

Om vir ons land se vroue te gee, is om vir ’n beter Suid-Afrika te staan. Die B-Loved Foundation maak met oorgawe ’n bydrae om voedsel by almal, maar veral by weerbare vroue en kinders, uit te kry op Mandela-dag” sê Octavia Ephraim, direkteur van The B-Loved Foundation.

Ontbytsake en The B-Loved Foundation daag ander televisieprogramme uit om ook deel te neem en te help om honger mae te vul.

67 000 liter sop gaan nie ons land se probleme oplos nie, maar sterk leierskap sal. ‘Ontbytsake’ steun die versoeningsleierskap wat Nelson Mandela voorgehou het en wil, met dit in gedagte, help om ’n verskil te maak op Mandela-dag,” sluit Louis Mclaren, uitvoerende vervaardiger van Ontbytsake en uitvoerende hoof van The B4i Project, af.
