Ok so nevermind the fact that every year for "BRAAI DAY" we (Tamils and some Hindi's- lol) fast from meat so we cannot enjoy the lekker braais with the rest of the nation... I understand its our choice to fast and so we must take it as it is and sacrifice being part of a national day. Yes...
But...
I think Braai Day happening on the same day distracts from the importance of Heritage Day (The way the Comrades was moved from Youth Day cos its was a distraction from the true significance of the day)
Braai Day should be moved to the 1st Sunday of September, so that
1. Braai Day has it's own day for all South Africans including those who hold the Purtassi fast to enjoy and come together over a lekker braai. (Hehe)
And 2. Heritage Day is celebrated for all its colour vibrancy and diversity that makes us a rainbow nation.
What you say?
