In just a few weeks, the 24th of September to be exact, South Africa will celebrate Heritage Day. Some might even call it Braai Day, although we’re not going to get into that argument.

The fact remains that many South Africans will gather on that Thursday to cook some lekker vleis around a fire with good friends, something I’m sure we can all enjoy. With that in mind we’ve got a few deals you might want to check out, just to make sure that you deliver the goods come the big day.

We’ll start small, the little things that help make a braai a roaring success. How about the B’s Kitchen 19-Piece Braai Set for just R299, all the tools you need to rule the braai roost with a handy carry bag for easy storage and transportation? Off to a good start…

Next up to the plate is the famous Jimmy’s Sauce Braai Pack. Marinating and seasoning may be an art form but these guys have made it rather easy to master. With this deal you will get two Steakhouse Sauces, one Seasoning and one Braai Salt.

For another bout of inspiration you could always try the man who has embodied all that is braai in this country, picking up the Jan Braai Promo Pack for R499 (down from R799) and impressing everyone with your mastery of outdoor cooking.

Fourth on the list is what has been dubbed the Ultimate Braai Day Bundle – a beige bucket braai, a flexi electronic braai lighter and stainless steel three in one braai tongs. All that is going for just R329 and should point you in the right direction.

And now the final braai offering, this one being for the more serious out there. What we have here is a a Char-Broil Kettle Man Braai, a well-oiled machine down from R2 999 to R2 399.

And that, braaimasters, is everything you might need to make September 24 a blerrie lekker time. Meat, veggies, salads – do as you please, and if you can wangle that Friday off work then it’s a four-day weekend for you.
