Can South Africa reclaim the Guinness World Record for the biggest braai?
After last year’s Guinness World Record attempt fell short on a technicality, 3,000 braaiers will gather at Loftus Versfeld this Heritage Day.
South Africa is attempting to reclaim the Guinness World Record for the biggest braai on Heritage Day. Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria is set to host 3,000 people, up from last year's 2,412 participants. The aim is to have 3,000 people braaiing simultaneously between 10 am and noon, staying at their designated stations throughout.
Last year's attempt was not recognized because some participants left their stations to socialize and take photos. This year, organizers have implemented stricter rules, such as a minimum age of 13, pre-lit braai stations, and no outside food or drinks. Tickets cost R255 per person and include essentials for braaiing. After the record attempt, the day will continue with a Heritage Day celebration featuring live performances, food trucks, and other activities until 8 pm.
