A true SA braai is a fantastic tradition.
Firstly you must have a traditional fire with coals/wood - none of these new "Barbeque3000" machines that take all the fun out of braaing.
You have to have good friends over. One of the greatest thing about a braai, is everyone standing around the fire just talking kak to each other and telling jokes.
You meat needs to have been marinaded in a great-tasting way, perhaps using some red wine in the marinade.
It's usually a good idea to braai some rolls as well, until they are nice and crispy.
You should also have a nice salad to go with the meat, with a good salad dressing (I usually go with Italian).
You have to have lekker music going. Not too loud though as that detracts from the conversation.
What you have in you glass is also very important. Nothing complements a a good braai like a good drink.
There should always be clarification over who the "official braaier" is. This responsibilty usually falls to the person who's house is being used as the venue, unless he designates someone else. This is to avoid too many guys all wanting to braai the meat in what they believe in the "correct way".
The braai should also only be started a couple of hours after everone has arrived. This is to ensure that people have built up a good appetite and that everone will be looking forward to the food.
After everyone has eaten, homage must be paid to the braaier. Something along the lines of "Jis, now that was lekker" must be said often, as well as sounds of satisfaction such as "Mmmm"...lol
Hey, and just for fun, here's some Steve Hofmeyr jokes:
Steve Hofmeyer once sakkied with 10 boere Poppies at once
Steve Hofmeyer braais with his fingers......
Steve Hofmeyer doesn't support the Bulls, the Bulls support Steve Hofmeyer
When Steve Hofmeyer stares at raw meat and it turns to biltong
Morkels gives Steve Hofmeyer any guarantee he wants...

Not even Chuck Norris gets as many fathers day cards as Steve Hofmeyer
Steve Hofmeyer sent Mandela to jail, he also freed him
The "National Party" is actually a term to describe Steve
Hofmeyer's birthday celebrations...
Klipdrift is actually Steve Hofmeyer's urine…….hence one gets
p*ssed upon consuming it
Steve Hofmeyer once looked at a loaf of bread, the bread wet itself in terror and turned into a Koeksister........
Steve Hofmeyer is the only man alive to turn down Patricia Lewis
Steve Hofmeyer can get through on MTN...
Steve Hofmeyer actually kick the drop goal in the 1995 world cup,
he is the player hiding behind the goal post not Chester Williams
When Steve Hofmeyer goes to Pick 'n Pay he just picks…….
*EDIT*
