WATCH: Ballito sets new record for the biggest braai in history
Hundreds upon hundreds of people flocked to the fields to take part in the record, to be spectators and just to enjoy the carnival atmosphere with the family.
It is official, the largest simultaneous braai in human history took place at Sugar Rush Park on Sunday.
The record (previously held by the Americans at 564 people) was beaten by a slim margin of only seven people in the end, with the final total coming to 571.
Around 640 people took part in the record attempt, but due to various infractions of minor Guinness Record rules and the like, around 70 people were disqualified.
Still, an inch is as good as a mile when it comes to records and all’s well as ends well.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people flocked to the fields to take part in the record, to be spectators and just to enjoy the carnival atmosphere with the family.
Eugene Zietsman, the man with the plan who made sure the braai world record now rests exactly where it belongs, thanked everyone for their support and for coming out to break the record.
