A delicious spread of Chicken Slice's fried chicken, the true 'Sapatina' meal.

How the "Sapatina" Legend Began

The story started at a historic event at State House, where the First Family hosted over 9,000 members of the VaPostori church for lunch. It was here that a video captured a moment of pure, ecstatic gratitude that would soon go viral.

In the video, a joyful church member, Madzibaba Chipaga, is seen savoring a meal of chicken and rice. Overwhelmed with delight, he spontaneously exclaims, "Sapatina Sapatina, kudya kwengirozi" – a phrase that translates to "the food of angels" – and a national meme was born.

"That wasn’t CHICKEN INN, that was pure CHICKEN SLICE glory. Happens to the best of us — even in the Bible, the Israelites didn’t know what manna was. Taste confusion is real when the flavour slaps this hard."

After a brief period of confusion online, the record has been set straight. The meal that inspired the "Sapatina Sapatina" exclamation was, in fact, from Chicken Slice. The brand has since playfully claimed its rightful title as the provider of the true "food of angels."

A Reward for Gratitude

Regardless of the initial brand confusion, the viral moment of pure joy caught the attention of businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo. Moved by Madzibaba Chipaga's gratitude, he stepped in to reward him with a life-changing gift: a brand-new 2025 Toyota Fortuner GD6 and US$20,000 in cash.
