Heritage Day: sound system rental in South Africa
A public holiday celebrating South Africa's cultural diversity, popularly marked nationwide as National Braai Day.
- When: 24 September every year
- Typical audience: 30 to 5,000 guests
- National day
Heritage Day on 24 September invites South Africans to celebrate their own cultural traditions within the country's wider diversity, marked with traditional dress, dance and music performances from the many communities that make up the nation. Informally known as National Braai Day, the occasion is at least as widely marked with a shared barbecue among family, friends, neighbours and colleagues, a tradition promoted as a simple, universal way to mark the day regardless of background.
Companies and community groups commonly combine both: a braai alongside a programme of cultural performances representing different traditions.

- No, though it's the best-known way to mark the day; cultural performances and traditional dress are just as central, and many events combine both.
- What size system suits a company Heritage Day event?
- A PA package with a wireless microphone covers most office braais; add a stage system if the event includes cultural performances.
