GUINNESS GRANTS CHICKEN FEET EATER WORLD RECORD TO SA WOMAN

The chicken feet eating competition took place in Umlazi, Durban where five women were tasked with eating as much as they could in one minute.

The women were friends and colleagues with work at a local shisa nyama called Mashamplanes.

But only one woman could emerge victorious, and that woman was Vuyolwethu who ate 121 grams of chicken feet in one minute.

A clip of the challenge was featured on eTV’s Stumbo Record Breakers this week. And Vuyolwethu appeared overcome with emotion after landing the Guinness world record.

‘TOUGH TO BEAT’

But whilst the Guinness Records are filled with weird and wonderful achievements, official adjudicator Sofia Greenacre thinks this one will stick – for now.

Speaking on the show, she said: “It’s going to be really exciting to see where this goes if it gets beaten.”

She added: “Speed eaters across the world are very competitive and will jump on any new records that appear. But I think this one is going to be tough to beat.”
