South African Fete

After a whole year long wait, the South Africa fete came around again. I was psyched, I was amped, I was going to eat 2 boerie rolls and maybe a bit of poetijie.

Good job I didn't. The boerie rolls were horrid, due to the queues of soon to riot ex-pat South Africans (because they were taking so long), they rushed the boeriewors braaing and they were raw, they had run out of tomato and onion relish, the boerewors was too fatty and gristlie and the sausage helping was to small for the size of the roll.

Not to mention at GBP 3.50 for a boerie roll it was probably the most expensive one ever (conservatively ZAR 56.00)! GBP 5.00 for some poetjie makes it also and expensive stew (another candidate for the Conservative Party at ZAR 80.00) .

Good thing I only had one. Also no Zamaleks!!! A braai with no South African beer? Whattt?

As Tim said, "Only South African's would rip off another South African". All for the good of the South African Church in Norfolk.

Don't get me wrong, it was nice to get out and be sitting outside and chilling. Weather was good and..

There was Paul the Zulu dancer! (Yes, I do see the irony).


A few more pics...




and a pic of ex-pat Matthew learning some Zulu dancing.

and a little vid...


Meyer kids didn't partake this time.

  1. Ah Kev I think you're being a bit harsh, you pay large money in the UK for all food ... and the people doing this aren't professionals, they just volunteer their time etc. They don't get paid for it. I think they did a good job - the stuff inside was very nice (koeks and pancakes etc.). Yeah, the boerie rolls were a disappointment - so next year you and Tim must get together and do a better job - show 'em how it's done. :)
