Heineken is all about opening its consumers’ world. And the Heineken Dropped SA campaign is going to do just that. Four South Africans – three men and one woman – will be dropped in secret locations overseas with a chance to see the world, not as tourist, but as a traveller. The difference? A traveller truly takes in a country’s culture, from the food to the traditions. Where as a tourist only takes in the top-line of the place they visit.
But unlike the original global Legendary Travellers, they’ll be competing against each other to not only take home the title of the Ultimate Legendary Traveller, they’ll win travel to the value of R40 000. The ‘Dropped’ travel adventure will force them to challenge their comfort zones using nothing but their wit, charm and resourcefulness.
But Heineken Dropped SA comes with a twist. The competition will be live on Twitter where the public can follow, participate and engage with the finalists. By supporting a finalist that ends up winning the Ultimate title, they’ll be put into a draw where they too can win travel to the value of R40 000.
Heineken Dropped SA will be live from Sunday 22 September to Thursday 26 September so keep visiting heineken.com, follow us on twitter @Heineken_SA and keep an eye out for the #HeinekenDroppedSA hashtag.
Here are the profiles for our 4 South African contestants:
Simon Good
My Biggest Dream:
Besides scoring the winner for Arsenal in the Champions League final, travelling the length and breadth of South America would be a dream come true.
My Hobbies:
I’m a closet ‘foodie’, so I really enjoy all aspects of cooking, from baking to braaing… oh, and some trail running on the side.
Place I Most Want to Visit:
Without a shadow of a doubt…COSTA RICA . Coffee, pretty girls on the beach and cocoa, God’s gift to men.
Baby Mashokwe
My Biggest Dream:
I wanted to go live on another planet, but since I heard you can’t come back from Mars, I’ll settle for world peace and/or domination.
My Hobbies:
I really wish it was something cool like shark cage diving without the cage, but it’s the normal stuff. Good books, good times with good people, good food… you get the idea. 🙂
Place I Most Want to Visit:
Thailand, Phuket, the Bazaruto Islands.
Beachy vibes, bru.
Kyle Tate
My Biggest Dream:
To judge the Miss Bikini world contest. I think I’d be good at that given half the chance.
My Hobbies:
Twerking and writing poetry mainly. Just kidding. I am very active, enjoy mountain biking and having my weekends consumed by watching rugby.
Place I Most Want to Visit:
Machu Picchu, Peru. That place blows my mind.
Tshepo Mashigo
My Biggest Dream:
I am an adventurer, so my biggest dream would be to go to the Heineken international brewing plant. That would be awesome.
My Hobbies:
Playing soccer and being adventurous.
Place I Most Want to Visit:
I’d love to visit Netherlands because I love satay food.
