This Spring, Nando’s is not only opening up the relationship by bringing you their new plant-based range The Great Pretender™, they are also making the table even bigger with the new exclusive launch of a deliciously thirst quenching and refreshing drink.

Rooibos was first used as a remedy by the indigenous KhoiSan tribespeople and later adopted by colonists to the Cape as a delicious alternative to tea. A pile of PERi-Salted Chips topped with pulled chicken in your chosen spice and melty cheddar cheese, spring onions, smoky PERi-Tamer and a creamy dressing. Our mission is to harness the power of Rooibos to enhance people’s lives; from the people who grow it, to the people who drink it and joining forces with Nando’s to bring our delicious Iced Rooibos to South Africans is a milestone for us.
