This Heritage Day, let’s honour the spirit of our nation the best way we know how — around the fire.

Be one of 2,500 people standing shoulder to shoulder as we make history. Let’s bring braai back to South Africa.

This event is in support of a greater mission. Next year, on World Hunger Day, Big Save and the Imbumba Foundation will attempt to feed 1 million people — and your ticket is a step towards that goal.

All proceeds go directly to the Imbumba Foundation , a South African non- profit committed to uplifting young people through education, empowerment, and health. Their Caring4Girls programme provides menstrual health support to schoolgirls across the country, helping them stay in class with dignity and confidence. Through Trek4Mandela , climbers summit Mount Kilimanjaro in honour of Nelson Mandela, raising vital awareness and funds for underprivileged youth.

Braai Experience

From 10:00 to 12:00, fire up your grill and be part of the biggest public braai the world has ever seen. Each braai participant will receive:

• A portion of wors to braai
• Fresh rolls to enjoy with your wors
• A branded apron to take home
• Use of a pair of tongs

This is your chance to share a fire and a meal with thousands of fellow South Africans on a day made for it.

• Live performances from Mi Casa , and many more talented
