The braaing needed to last a full five minutes to break the world record, previously set in Japan in November, 2023 with 2 220 participants. While the event aimed to break records, it was also in aid of supporting Trek4Mandela, intending to provide one million meals on World Food Day in October, 2026. South Africans tried to obtain the world record for the most people grilling/barbecuing simultaneously.
