South Africans will have a braai to celebrate almost any occasion or achievement – or to simply get the gang together! Many families will host a small braai once a week and do a big braai for the extra special occasions. One of the best days to braai is South African Heritage Day on 24 September, fondly known as Braai Day.

The braai is an essential part of South African culture, and brings family and friends together in celebration for everything from birthdays to graduations to engagements and national holidays. It’s a moment to come together to share good food and feel the love around the fire. 

The word ‘braai’ is Afrikaans, originating from the Dutch word ‘braden’ which means ‘to roast’. The beauty of the braai is that it’s not specific to any one cultural group in South Africa, and it transcends the country’s turbulent past to bring the nation together.

Any meat you can imagine! Lamb, beef, chicken, pork, springbok, warthog, ostrich, eland, kudu, seafood, steaks and boerewors… Almost nothing is off-limits at the braai! Each piece of meat is marinated and grilled perfectly, and it’s served with side dishes like salads and desserts.

Besides the meat is the humble braai hero, braaibroodjie, or ‘braai bread’. This crowd favourite is a sandwich made from two slices of buttered white bread, filled with tomato, cheese, onion and chutney, and placed on the grill. It’s kind of like a toasted sandwich, but so much better because everything tastes better when cooked on the fire! And to wash it all down? It’s got to be the best local wines and beers, or even brandy and coke, known as karate water. 

This Half Drum Braai stand comes with 4x Removable / Fitted Stands to make transporting  easy.
