Written by Tshepo Nkosi and Modise Khoabane of Team ‘Green Okes’ won the award for ‘Best Original Team’ at the Sun City Ultimate Braai Master audition.
Braai Master Tshepo Nkosi and his Braai Buddy Modise Khoabane have been friends for seven years.
There was no doubt in their minds that they would not make it to the final fifteen of Ultimate Braai Master.
They said that their audition was solid and winning the award for ‘Best Original Team’ pretty much confirmed that they would make it through.
They do know however that there is a very strong field out there and they will not be underestimating any of the competition.

Ultimate Braai Master contenders Braai Master Tshepo Nkosi and his Braai Buddy, Modise Khoabane.
It appears that Tshepo was being quite literal when he said they will bring a green slant to braaing.

He said of the partnership, “it’s a match made in heaven.”
“I cook and he eats all the crap that I cook.”
Giving a warning as to what we can expect from him during the show he finished off saying, “there’s more to me than meets the eye.”
No Facebook or Twitter page yet…come on ‘Okes’ sort it out…
It’s paperless!
The UBM bio says that If Tshepo and Modise win the title, the car and the cash, they’re starting an organic farm.
So the name ‘Green Okes’ has nothing to do with ‘The Stoned Olives’ or wrapping their food up in green leave… it really is about going green.
When asked what the hardest thing to braai was they replied, “politicians, because they
