South African Heritage Day


September is Heritage Month in South Africa, with National Heritage Day celebrated on 24 September. National Heritage Day, also known as National Braai Day was declared a public holiday in 1996. There is nothing more South African than lighting a fire and cooking a meal to enjoy with family and friends. It’s something that crosses racial, cultural, religious and social boundaries.

As we celebrate our heritage today, I’m also celebrating the launch of my NEW online magazine. I’ve been planning this project for the longest of time but never executed it as yet. So, I thought today is a good day to launch my new project!

Hope you will enjoy reading my magazine, link below. Please feel free to comment with suggestions or any improvements I can make.

Although we currently live in the United Kingdom we celebrate our heritage everyday through the traditional food we eat as well as our way of life. We love to braai and today was no exception. My husband braai-ed chicken and T-Bone steaks served with baked beans salad and potato salad. What did you do for Heritage Day?
