Our purpose of Feeding People’s Potential is what inspired us to launch the Biggest Hunger Hack – a call to digital innovators across South Africa to reimagine Add Hope’s open-sourced blueprint. We’re inspired by the creativity of over 60 Gen Zers, who answered the challenge and dedicated a week to crafting tech-powered solutions to combat child hunger. We’re proud to champion this next generation of changemakers and stand alongside them in the fight against food insecurity.
At KFC, our commitment to feeding people’s potential has always driven us to explore new, impactful ways to reach even more communities across South Africa. In recognition of World Hunger Day, we recently called on digital innovators to participate in The Biggest Hunger Hack, an initiative aimed at re-engineering Add Hope’s open-sourced blueprint. Over 60 bright, young minds dedicated a week to tackling child hunger, harnessing creative, tech-powered solutions. Thanks to these Gen Z trailblazers, South Africa’s fight against hunger is poised for a powerful, new chapter. Want the full story?

Launched by KFC Africa, KAIIA is one of our most outside-the-bucket innovations yet. Now fully operational and available to the public, KAIIA can interact fluently in 11 of South Africa’s official languages – tailoring her responses with cultural nuance and local flavor. Looking from some finger lickin’ good tips? Let KAIIA help. ✨ Looking for some finger lickin’ good food? You know where to find us. 🍗
The internet has been abuzz with chat about a new South African AI platform - KAIIA, fine-tuned to Mzanzi culture, speaks 11 languages, trained for local nuance. After social media leaks and a tech spec video caused a stir last week, tech influencers who unearthed a link to KAIIA started reporting that the AI seemed to mention chicken randomly whenever they interacted with her. Bongani Moropa, known as Bonghuni posted about KAIIA’s fluency in Zulu, remarking on her odd obsession with food. Tech influencer Tyron Tech posted “This could be game changing for RSA”. Well, it’s time to break the news! We’re SO EXCITED to announce #KAIIA as the star of our brand-new Taste campaign and we could not be prouder to unleash her into the world. See her story for yourself here. KFC Africa Chief Marketing Officer Grant Macpherson Macpherson says the brand loves pushing boundaries and surprising consumers with its campaigns showing the lengths people (and now an AI) will go to for the taste of KFC. “The unofficial taste inspector campaign is one everyone remembers, and last year we featured scientists spending a year on Marion Island and pining so hard that two of them set off home in a dinghy clutching a KFC shopping list,” he says. “This time around, we wanted to tap into the conversations people are having every day—AI, or as I like to call it, ‘Are the robots taking over?’ The advances in AI are on everyone’s lips, so we thought—why not put it on everyone’s taste buds too? Our idea is to ride the wave of relevance by creating a campaign that taps into the modern zeitgeist, sparks conversation, and gives Mzansi a chance to engage with the tech in a fun and lighthearted way.” Look out for a link to KAIIA on the 24th when she will be available to the public. #AnythingForTheTaste - Production House: Carbon Films - Director: Bruno Bossi - Offline Post Production: StrangeLove - Sound: Sterling Sound - Online Post Production: Continuum Pictures - Radio sound production: Hey Papa Legend - Chief Marketing Officer: Grant Macpherson - Marketing Director: Mukundi Munzhelele - Marketing Manager: Emma Coville - Social Media: Vongai Mumbula - Public Relations: Andra Nel - Creative Agency: Ogilvy South Africa - Media Agency: Mindshare South Africa , Hearts & Science - PR Agency: KAMuses Consultancy - Influencer Agency: Punkystarfish Digital Agency - Activation Agency: RunJumpFly https://brnw.ch/21wTvhq
