One of our favourite local words is "kuier". The feeling of kuier can be described as "sharing a bottle of wine with friends while snuggled around a warm fire in winter, it’s opening a crisp Chenin on the rocks with a few fresh crayfish after a dive with your buddies, it’s a full bodied Shiraz around a braai with your family on a warm summer's night. It’s warmth, it’s hospitality, it’s friends. It’s good wine, good food and good company."
That's exactly the feeling we hope you will have this Heritage Day/ Braai Day. To get that "kuier" feeling, you will need some South African wine to help you #tastesunshine (its a little known fact that South African wine tastes like sunshine in a bottle). You will also need the following:
Chow - food or mealtime
Shisa Nyama - Shisa nyama is a Zulu phrase and, literally, means to "burn meat". It describe a barbecue or braai where people (friends or families) come together to grill meat in an open fire.
Vriete - food
Nca (pronounced "Ntj-ah") an expression of appreciation or admiration, similar to "nice".
Have a nca Heritage Day!
