Long boerewors Sausages Grilled on Youth Day

 The long Boerewors   are got braaied well enough to make mouth water for all the onlookers who had come to witness the mega cookery feat. The seven farmer associations of Mokopane   district Agricultural   union (DAU) along with singer comedian Saarkie in tow  grilled a 514.5 meter long boerewors.  A complete fusion   of food and entertainment to make your evening   celebrations hit the grand way.

The   farmer chefs together with the singer to add more glam quotient   brought their culinary skills to test   on the grilling bar. You might wonder what   is   the big deal in grilling sausages for lunch or dinner. You might be doing that rather everyday in your house so it may seem pretty ordinary. But here   the guys were all set to try something extraordinary and offer them to the old age homes as a token of respect towards   the elderly public. It is important to show to the elders how much we care and respect them. After all they have been the pillars on whom many of the present   youth have scripted their future.

 The massive boerewors weighed about 420kg and 40 people worked together to put it on the roster. The current record of the longest barbecued  sausages (boerewors) of 514.5 meters has smashed the previous record of a mere 321 meters. Charl Oberholzer, national chairperson of AfriForum Youth, said the entire team was very apprehensive till the end while tossing the sausages on the grill. As the  boerewors were long enough it was important to turn them without breakage. The team had a couple of close shaves but were lucky to get through without the boerewors sausages getting broken as otherwise  would have hampered the chances of setting the longest grilled sausages record.

The world record attempt was made on the youth day to make the youth realize  the respect and gratitude needed to show  to the elders of the society. After setting the record the boerewors were distributed to many   pensioners and old   persons for free.

The longest   barbecued boerewors sausages  measured 514.5 meters and weighed 420 Kg was set by AfriForum Youth at Johannesburg, South Africa on July 20, 2011.
