History

Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van ons see, Oor ons gebergtes waar die kranse antwoort gee, Deur ons ver-verlate vlaktes met die kreun van ossewa- Ruis die stem van ons geliefde, van ons land Suid-Afrika.

It all started in 1986 when Debbie Schmid and Alana Bachmann had the clever idea
of organizing the very first "SA BRAAI GET TOGETHER" in Dietschwil (SG)

After looking for a better suited venue they organized yearly braais
at Robinson Spielplatz in Effretikon
from 1987 - 1992

Nkosi, Sikelel' iAfrika; Maluphakanyisw' uphondo Iwayo;

In 1993 it came to a change of organizers
when Dolf and Hans took over

Ever since we had 2 BRAAIS a year
(some with and some without rain)

South Africans and people with South African connections as far as
Bern, Basel, Luzern, St Gallen and Southern Germany have visited.

We also had guests from

Australia
