Invest in some good lighting
With load shedding heavily underway in South Africa right now, you can go wrong with pre-charging your lighting devices to make sure you’re all set for the night.
If you haven’t yet, invest in some rechargeable LED or solar lanterns which you can find at just about any tech store.

When it comes to braaing the perfect meat, it takes quite a while.
To make sure people aren’t restless, provide some nice comfortable seats close to the braai stand so that even the designated braaier can join in on the conversation.
