The Braai - a South African Institution

The art of the barbeque. While to some of us, throwing a few bangers on an open flame and leaving them to burn to a charcoal crisp sounds like a good time on a rare sunny weekend in blighty, the same could not be said of the dedicated man at work image of a South African male and his tongs around a braai.

A scary amount of pride and territorial dominance goes into the process that is the braai but it is a sight to behold and while the below dramatisation of a group of mates' efforts to stereotype this commonly seen scene is amusing, it doesn't alter the fact that on arriving in SA and being immediately invited to share in this tasty ritual is not only a great quality of the guys, it's also an invitation you cannot and absolutely should not pass on.
