The competition required participants to finish several large burgers within a very strictly timed period. Tshepe approached the table with plenty of energy. Instead of rushing his food, he spent his time dancing and making various funny faces. He used his hands to gesture wildly while his opponents stayed completely silent and focused. The streamer appeared to be enjoying the flavours of the burgers more than the possible win.

The rise of competitive eating challenges in Mzansi

Eating contests have become a very popular form of entertainment within the South African food scene lately. Many restaurants use these extreme challenges to attract large crowds and social media influencers alike. Participants often have to sign safety waivers before they attempt to eat massive amounts of food.

These events test the physical limits and the mental discipline of every single person involved. Professional eaters usually train for months to expand their stomach capacity for these specific moments. Tshepe seemed to have ignored all of these traditional rules during his appearance.

An Instagram clip by the streamer captured his funny moments as he fumbled. The video showed him stacking two burgers together to eat them as one. He even took moments to hype himself up while his rivals were focused. The streamer later said that he was simply happy to be there.
