Harders Braai in Velddrif | West Coast Tradition on the Fire

Описание: 🔥 Harders Braai in Velddrif | Stories from the West Coast

Velddrif is one of those towns where life slows down the moment you arrive — shaped by the river, the sea, and the people who call it home. In this video, I cross the bridge into Velddrif to meet two locals who embody that rhythm: Rick Thiart, manager at the Riviera Hotel, and Gerber Basson, an accomplished fisherman and South Africa’s largest distributor of harders.

Together, they show us how to braai harders — the same fish used to make bokkoms, but here cooked fresh over the fire. More than just food, braaing harders is a tradition that connects community, heritage, and everyday life in Velddrif.
