“When our first democratically-elected government decided to make Heritage Day one of our national days, we did so because we knew that our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation.”
– President Nelson Mandela in an address marking Heritage Day in 1996
Heritage Day aka National Braai Day
In South Africa, Heritage Day which forms part of Heritage Month is observed on the 24th of September each year. On this day the Rainbow Nation celebrates its rich diversity, culture, beliefs and traditions.
But nothing brings South Africans together more than our best-loved tradition of gathering around a fire. Heritage Day, or National Braai Day, as it is commonly known fosters social cohesion and embraces our national identity in one single, best-loved and inherently South African activity: braai.
In the words of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, the National Spokesperson for Braai Day: “We have 11 different official languages but only one word for the wonderful institution of braai: in Xhosa, English, Afrikaans, whatever.”
