JanBraai's real name is Jan Scannell and he lives to braai, or barbecue. He is the founder and driving force behind South Africa's hugely successful and popular National Braai Day, held on 24 September each year, which brings together all South Africans through their shared love of cooking outdoors over a fire. Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town Desmond Tutu, who 'likes T-bone steaks, because they are in the shape of Africa', is the day's patron.
