There’s something about a braai that just makes sense. Maybe it’s the way everyone naturally gathers around the fire, or how time seems to slow down when the coals are glowing and the tongs are in hand. It’s not rushed. It’s not complicated. It’s food, flame, and togetherness – the simplest ingredients for something that always feels special.
It’s that time of the year again, and never have we needed a braai day or the celebration of our loved ones and our culture more than we do on this Heritage Day!
National Braai Day, synonymous with Heritage Day, was begun more than a decade ago by Jan Scannell aka Jan Braai. The concept really gained momentum in 2008 when Archbishop Desmond Tutu lent it his support - and 12 years later, we have one of South Africa’s favourite foodie holidays.
