Igama livela esiBhunwini, lifushaniselwe u-braaivleis ("inyama eyosiwe"), futhi liphinyiselwa "bh-rayi". Kudala leqa yonke imingcele yezilimi ezweni: abantu baseNingizimu Afrika bazo zonke izizinda bayosa, futhi igama lisebenza njengebizo, isenzo nomcimbi. Uyamenywa e-braai, u-braai i-wors, futhi nethuluzi uqobo nalo yi-braai. Igama elilodwa elincane elenza umsebenzi wamathathu — lokho kuwuphawu lwakho lokuqala lokuthi lokhu kungaphezu kokupheka. Okubiza i-braai yomndeni waseNingizimu Afrika, umgqomu owashicilelwa kamuva, kuse-Braai Index Kazwelonke.
Izivakashi ziyalungiswa ngobumnene ngalokhu, ngakho masikusindise ihlazo. I-barbecue yindlela; i-braai yisikhungo. Izinto ezintathu zenza umehluko. Okokuqala, umlilo: i-braai yangempela ibasa izinkuni zangempela — i-kameeldoring, i-rooikrans, i-sekelbos — zize zibe amalahle avuthayo, futhi ihora eliyingxenye lokulinda liyingxenye yesiko, akusiyo inkinga. Igesi ikhona, futhi asikhulumi ngayo. Okwesibili, isikhathi: e-barbecue umlilo usebenzela ukudla; e-braai ukudla kuphazamisa umlilo. Amalangabi abaswa kudala ngaphambi kwenyama futhi amalahle avutha isikhathi eside emva kwayo, ngoba umlilo uyindawo yomcimbi uqobo. Okwesithathu, ukudla — awukho omunye umlilo emhlabeni ophethe i-boerewors, ama-braaibroodjie no-phuthu nesishebo ngasikhathi sinye.
Yonke i-braai isebenza ngemithetho engabhaliwe, esizithathele ilungelo lokuyibhala phansi — bheka Imithetho Yomlilo. Okubalulekile: umuntu oyedwa uphethe udosi ngakho unezwi (u-braaier, owosayo); izivakashi zeluleka kanye, zikude, hhayi kabili; akekho obala ama-tjop; futhi ihora lokugcina eduze kwamalahle afayo, emva kokudla, yilapho i-braai yenzeka khona ngempela. I-bring en braai — wonke umuntu ufika nenyama yakhe nesidlo esisecelen — iwukulinganisa okukhulu komphakathi waseNingizimu Afrika: umlilo uyanikezwa, okunye kuyahlanganyelwa.
Okuyisisekelo: i-boerewors (isoseji enesinongo se-coriander okumele ngokomthetho ibe yinyama okungenani engu-90%), ama-tjop emvu, ama-sosatie enkukhu, i-steak, izitho zentamo yengulube nezimbambo, futhi ogwini i-snoek ephelele evulwe yaba yisicaba. Eceleni kwenyama: ama-braaibroodjie (isivivinyo sangempela sowosayo), i-roosterkoek ebhakwe kudosi, no-phuthu ngaphansi kwesishebo sikatamatisi no-anyanisi. Wonke amaresiphi aku-qoqo lethu lamaresiphi, futhi izeluleko zokuthenga zise-Izitho Zenyama.
I-braai ingenye yezinto ezimbalwa kakhulu wonke umphakathi waseNingizimu Afrika oyithatha njengeyawo — yingakho u-24 kuSepthemba, iholidi loSuku Lwamagugu, egujwa njengoSuku Lwe-Braai Lukazwelonke. Usuku luhlala ngo-24 kuSepthemba. Ngo-2026 kwakungoLwesine, futhi lolo suku seludlule. Luhlala luyusuku olulodwa lapho izwe lonke likhuthazwa ukuba libase umlilo lihlangane eduze kwawo. Noma yini esihlukanisayo, e-braai akekho okudingeka avumelane nalutho ngaphandle kokuthi amalahle asezolunga.
Ukosa inyama phezu komlilo ovulekile kudala njengomlilo uqobo eNingizimu ye-Afrika — lena, ngokoqobo, ingenye yezindawo ezindala kakhulu emhlabeni lapho abantu bahlangana khona eduze kwamalahle. Igama lisha kunalokho: u-braai uvela esiBhunwini, usuka olimini lwesiDashi u-braden, ukosa, futhi ngekhulu lamashumi amabili i-braaivleisaand — ubusuku be-braai — yayisiyingxenye eqinile yempilo yomphakathi waseNingizimu Afrika. Okwaqala emphakathini owodwa kudala kwayeka ukuba ngokwawo wodwa: kusukela e-braai yomndeni evulandini kuya ku-shisa nyama odumayo ngaphandle kwesilaha selokishi, sonke isiko laseNingizimu Afrika manje lithatha umlilo njengelawo, ngamunye ngendlela yakhe.
Isahluko sakamuva wuSuku Lwe-Braai Lukazwelonke: kusukela maphakathi nawo-2000, umkhankaso wokuthi bonke abantu baseNingizimu Afrika bagubhe Usuku Lwamagugu, u-24 kuSepthemba, ngendlela efanayo — eduze komlilo. Kwanamathela, ngoba kwavele kwenza kwasemthethweni lokho izwe elalivele likwenza.
