Braai is a rite of passage for South Africans; it’s our unique way of doing family reunions, and if it were up to us, it would be a weekly occasion. Whether you’re a braai boss or part of the slaai committee, everyone plays a part. Inspired by South African braai culture, we’ve created the ultimate Heritage Day feast with the help of our friends from Chad-O-Chef.
