MBOMBELA – Enjoying meat over the coals has been a long-standing tradition among South Africans. Lowvelders, in particular, love nothing more than visiting with family and friends while the embers turn red and the meat is spiced.
The Jacaranda FM team, led by presenter Rian van Heerden, were in Michelle Street in West Acres this Friday to keep this proudly South African tradition alive. Lowvelder was greeted by the aromatic smells wafting from the braai stands lining the street.

The bonhomie between neighbours and visitors, enjoying a drink after the day’s work, was reminiscent of the scenes which are normally played out during a family get-together. The men were leaning over the fire, braai tongs and spices in hand, to braai the meat to perfection.
