Heritage Day / Braai Day

Heritage Day / Braai Day on 24 September is one of the newly created South African public holidays. It is a day in which all are encouraged to celebrate their cultural traditions in the wider context of the great diversity of cultures, beliefs and traditions that make up the nation of South Africa.

National Braai Day Song

Heritage Day, 24 September, is a public holiday in South Africa. Citizens are encouraged to celebrate their cultural heritage and the diversity of their beliefs and traditions, in the wider context of a nation that belongs to all its people.

We encourage all South Africans to at some point during 24 September each year on National Braai Day, gather around a fire and braai.
