We grilled KZN on what they can't do without family at a braai!

We have asked our listeners what they only do if their family is at a braai. Here are the results...

It's that time of year! Get your boerewors, pap, and braai tongs out because "ons gaan nou braai"!

In celebration of the Rugby World Cup Final, we have decided to make it "braai time" on the show. We had to ask the burning question leading up to D-Day...

"What is the one thing that KZN does not do at a braai unless their family is present?"

Braais are a cherished South African tradition, celebrated with sizzling meats, good company, and a laid-back atmosphere. 

In KwaZulu-Natal, braai culture holds a special place in our hearts. However, there's one unwritten rule that locals tend to follow religiously: certain culinary traditions just aren't the same unless family is around.

Needless to say, every family has their own way of doing things. 

One such tradition is preparing a hearty pot of "umngqusho" (samp and beans), a staple side dish. When family is present, the preparation of umngqusho is a communal event, with everyone contributing to the pot.

Here are some of the responses from fellow Durbanites: 

  • "We make crayfish curry when my family is around"
  • "Garlic bread is made from scratch with my family"
  • "We don't braai unless my family is there"
  • "Potato salad, coleslaw and more"
  • "Expect the bare minimum unless the family is in town"

A braai isn't just about food; it's unity, sharing stories, and strengthening family bonds.
