Light the fires of our Heritage

Hurray, it’s Braai Day tomorrow! It’s Heritage Day, but that quickly became transmogrified into something that is a bit tongue in cheek, yet far more relevant and inclusive for that.

Of course, the Mother Grundies didn’t like it, but not everything about us must be desperately serious and grim - there is more than enough opportunity across the 12 public holidays that we must be appropriately sombre and reflective of where we have come from and where we are going.

Most of us, irrespective of the languages we speak, enjoy spending time outdoors and cooking - and for those that don’t like meat, there’s nothing better than a lekker big mushroom smothered with garlic butter over the open flames, or a braaibroodjie.
