The Currency gift guide… goes full boet

Yirre but we leant in hard to the stereotypes to put this selection together. We apologise for this, but have a glance down the page and you’ll see that we found some pretty natty katunda (our favourite Swahili word; it is so much better than its English translation, “stuff”) for the boets and boytjies.

So, for the lovely oke(s) in your life, here is a melange of treats to bring some gees. Lock giant Eben Etzebeth’s wittily titled new rugby memoir is front of the pack, but it’s just the start – and only one of the team sport-inspired choices.

In truth, it’s the Doctor Khumalo soccer jersey from Old School that got us most excited. We fancy this classic bit of fashionable football nostalgia for ourselves – but think it is exactly what the doctor ordered for all dapper gents too.

We also discovered designer sound, a watch for F1 fans, and – this thrilled us – really, really, really long braai tongs. As tools of the trade go, they are tops, but the smoking hot Weber Searwood 600 Pellet barbecue is a dream of smoking, searing, roasting and good old fashioned braais too.

That’s the fanciest gift on the page, but the excellent Jowa’s braai sauce comes in under R35. How’s that for a spicy stocking filler? Only the finest for you fellas!
