Celebrate your heritage this Braai Day
The National Braai Day initiative aims to position National Heritage Day as South Africa’s annual day of celebration.
Today, 24 September, is National Heritage Day, also know as Braai Day, and all South Africans are encouraged to celebrate their cultural traditions in the wider context of the diversity of cultures, beliefs, and traditions that make up the South African nation.
The Braai4Heritage initiative encourages all South Africans to have a braai on 24 September as a way of celebrating our diversity.
Heritage Day is one of the newer South African public holidays. The day was previously known as Shaka Day, and was only celebrated in KwaZulu-Natal. It was changed to National Heritage Day in 2004 when a compromise was reached between the new government and the Inkatha Freedom Party.
