South Africa wants to set the world record for the world's largest braai. More than 3,000 people gathered around 500 fires at Pretoria’s Loftus Versfeld Stadium, aiming to set a new Guinness World Record for the most people braaiing simultaneously.
But outside the stadium, a different debate was unfolding. Anti-immigrant tensions have left many foreign nationals worried about their future in South Africa.
The anti-immigrant group March and March has given undocumented migrants until September 30 to pack and leave, accusing foreign nationals of stealing jobs, committing crime and overburdening public services.
