A national past time.. The Braai...is a great way for us to save plenty energy also. We prepare all the meat and veggies on the grill and for the other dishes we use fresh ingredients. No electricity is used to prepare the meal . We only use alien invader species wood so this also contributes towards caring for our environment.

Hi Please have a look at the GBCSA site for a list of Green Star SA Accredited Professionals. You can search by region and profession. Always recommend that they ask for evidence of prior experience on projects of a similar nature and ask for references from previous clients. https://www.gbcsa.org.za/network/directories/accredited-professionals/
