The Brisbane Afrikaans Church had their annual Lekkerbek Bazaar on 4 September. It was a day full of fun, enjoyment and plenty to eat.

Activities such as armwrestling, sack racing, bow and arrow shooting, spitting corn kernels (mieliepitspoeg) and the jumping castle ensured that the children had loads of fun. Shady trees provided ample space for socialising while people enjoyed truly South African cuisine like curry and rice, jaffles, vetkoek and mince, sosaties, pancake and boerewors rolls.

There was also a whole table loaded with sweet homebaked treats to choose from. Those who wanted to show off their sporty prowess participated in the volleyball competition and Mansfield Christian Reformed Church was the overall winners.

A variety of products and services was up for grabs at the auction – anything from knive sharpening to a rusk pan and much more. The hall was decorated with the various entries for the photography competition and the flea market offered a variety of homemade and other products for sale.

The Lekkerbek Bazaar is an annual event and the Brisbane Afrikaans Church also hosts a potjiekos competition, spit roast and a golf day. Make sure you follow us on Facebook to stay informed about the church’s activities.

The church has services in Afrikaans on Sundays at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Londonstraat, Eight Mile Plains. You are welcome to come visit us!

We want to thank our sponsors who made the day possible: Home Loans in Aus, Worldwide and Rebel Hire. Please support them. Thank you to everyone who attended the day. We will see you again next year!

Greetings in Christ,

Brisbane Afrikaans Church
