Eskort, Checkers and Toyota unite to give away a Braai-Lux, with Springbok icon Bongi
\nMbonambi as the face of the campaign.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eskort has partnered with Checkers and Toyota to launch their latest Braai-Lux
\ncampaign, which celebrates South African braai culture.<\/p>\n
Eskort knows that the best way to bring people together is through good food, and in
\ntrue South African style, over a braai. This belief is what kickstarted the campaign and is
\nrooted in one simple truth: South Africans love to braai, so much so that they will braai
\nanywhere. In the backyard, at the campsite, at the rugby, you name it. Because nothing
\nbrings South Africans together quite like a legendary braai. And now, Eskort has taken<\/p>\n
braai culture to another level, building one of the most uniquely South African prizes
\never created.
\nIntroducing the BRAAI-LUX \u2014 a fully customised New Generation Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-
\n6 4×4 Raider 6AT Double Cab, proudly sponsored by Toyota and fully kitted out by
\nEskort with everything you need for the ultimate braai, including a fridge, a gas braai
\nand all the essential tools to get the fire going, wherever you are.
\nBut this isn\u2019t just a showpiece.
\nEskort is giving the Braai-Lux away to one lucky customer who purchases any Eskort
\nproduct from Checkers or Checkers Sixty60. And because no legendary braai is
\ncomplete without legendary company, the winner will also get to fire up the Braai-Lux
\nand enjoy a braai alongside, two-time Rugby World Cup winner, Bongi Mbonambi.
\n\u201cThis mix of three iconic brands, braai'ing and Bongi is the ultimate South African
\ncombination, and we\u2019re excited about the conversations and cultural connections that
\nare springing from the campaign,\u201d says Eskort CEO Arnold Prinsloo.<\/p>\n
What exactly is the Braai-Lux?
\nThe Braai-Lux is a ninth-generation 206 New Generation Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 4×4
\nRaider 6AT Double Cab, proudly sponsored by Toyota, with a full customisation built by
\nIronman 4×4 and Halfway Toyota Honeydew.
\nThe conversion features a Megamaster grill, dual fridge\/freezer, a roller drawer system,
\na Dometic roof rack, a Bossenberg Canopy, a 270 \u00b0 awning, full front bull bar, a light kit,
\na suspension kit, offroad tyres sponsored by Tyremart, and custom embroidered Takla
\nseat covers, dash cover and carpets.<\/p>\n
Who are the three legends behind the campaign?
\nThree South African institutions, each a leader in its field, have come together to make
\nthis campaign possible.
\nFor Eskort, the campaign is a natural extension of a brand that has been part of South
\nAfrican mealtimes for more than a century.
\nFor 109 years, Eskort has grown from small-town roots into one of South Africa\u2019s
\nleading pork producers, with a national manufacturing, retail and distribution footprint.<\/p>\n
Today, Eskort is South Africa\u2019s leading antibiotic-free pork producer, with more than 300
\nproducts spanning fresh pork, braai cuts, everyday favourites, convenience meals and a
\nkid\u2019s range.
\nBraaiing is a particularly important part of that heritage. Eskort products have long been
\npart of meals and occasions that bring South Africans together \u2013 making the Braai-Lux
\nan opportunity for the brand to celebrate the culture it has been part of for generations.
\n\u201cEskort has been part of South African braais for generations, so this campaign gives us
\nthe opportunity to put our brand right at the centre of one of the country's most loved
\ntradition,\u201d says Prinsloo.
\n\u201cAs a strong retail partner, Checkers gives us incredible reach; Toyota brings an iconic
\nSouth African vehicle to the idea, and Bongi brings an authenticity and personality that
\nmakes the experience even more special. Together, we have created something that
\nfeels unmistakably Eskort and unmistakably South African.\u201d
\nCheckers is South Africa\u2019s fastest growing premium retailer. Its Xtra Savings rewards
\nprogramme has been named the Best Retail Loyalty Programme of the Year for the fifth-
\nyear running.
\nCheckers Sixty60, the award-winning on-demand delivery service that delivers
\ngroceries in 60-minutes at in-store prices, changed the face of South African shopping.
\nThe Toyota Hilux is South Africa\u2019s best-selling vehicle and one of South Africa\u2019s most
\nenduring cultural symbols. The ninth-generation model, launched in South Africa in
\nJune 2026 continues this legacy.
\n\u201cEskort, Checkers and Toyota each represent something the country has trusted and
\nloved for generations,\u201d says Prinsloo. \u201cBy bringing them together around the braai,
\nEskort has forged a partnership that makes perfect sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why Bongi Mbonambi?
\nTwo-time Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok hooker Bongi Mbonambi is one of the
\nmost respected figures in South African sport. He brings to the campaign what he brings
\nto every team he plays in: authenticity, warmth and natural credibility.
\n\u201cBongi is the kind of person South Africans would genuinely invite to their braai,\u201d says
\nPrinsloo. \u201cHe represents the values that sit at the heart of every great braai: bringing
\npeople together, celebrating community, and creating moments that last.
\n\u201cHaving him as the face of this campaign is a privilege, and we know he is going to
\nmake one very lucky South African\u2019s braai utterly unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n
