Update:
We know you were all concerned that the gentleman in the tracksuit didn’t receive a boerewors roll from Jan. We wanted to offer you a different angle of the moment, so we tracked down the full CCTV footage and can confirm he received his boerewors roll. As mentioned in our first statement, the original video was shared in the spirit of the day we had with our Willowbridge Food Lover’s family – that anyone who visited the stand would receive a boerewors roll for free.
We hope this CCTV footage comforts you that we did not exclude or single out anybody in what was a celebration of everyone’s heritage.
Statement:
We enjoyed a lovely day out at our Willowbridge store, giving customers a taste of the Jan Braai Kerriewors. Shoppers, from all walks of life, had great fun sampling delicious free boeries.
We are aware of allegations making the rounds that only selected shoppers received boerewors rolls.
This is simply not true.
This allegation is based on an uncharitable interpretation of a single video, which was a small snapshot of the day. Anyone who was there would find the allegation laughable.
We removed the original video posted though because it was a poor reflection of just how successful and inclusive the day was. We have replaced it with a new video. For the record, we wish to refute that some shoppers were singled out and can happily confirm that boeries were handed out to everyone. We can also confirm that Jan Braai Kerriewors was a massive hit with young and old!
