Feeling like you might have missed something on-air?

Listen here to hear from Darren & Sky recapping the moment Jason from the Bluff spoke to the breakfast gang.

Durban had hosted 'The Great East Coast Chilli Fest' this past weekend on the 25 March.

However, before Saturday we had also had our own fair share of hotness as we did our own Chilli eating contest.

On Friday being the 24 March, during the show Breakfast with Darren Maule, there was a chilli eating contest where three people who had called wanting to enter during the week were put to the test. 

The competition was to see how much chilli can one of these contests endure as the more they ate, the further the level of hotness they went. 

The winner of the contest would walkaway with a Bathroom Bizarre Bidet worth R5 000.

The contests were Jason, Keagan and Sbonelo. Have a look how this group did in the earlier rounds of the competition through Facebook live video. 

Before the competition started, Darren & Sky spoke to the hosts of The Great East Coast Chilli Fest being Nick from Eat Greek.

Nick had talked about the history of this festival and how much it had impacted tourism in Durban.

The competition was a huge success and it was down to the wire between Sbonelo and Jason. 

To be fair, Sbonelo was roped in at the last minute as he works at St Joseph's hospital.
