Various events are staged throughout the country to commemorate this day. Former Western Cape Provincial Premier Ebrahim Rasool addressed the public at a Heritage Day celebration at the Gugulethu Heritage trail in 2007 in Gugulethu. In Hout Bay, there is an army procession and a recreation of the battle fought there. In 2005, a media campaign sought to "re-brand" the holiday as National Braai Day , in recognition of the South African culinary tradition of holding informal backyard barbecues, or braais. On 5 September 2007, Archbishop Desmond Tutu celebrated his appointment as patron of South Africa's Barbecue (Braai) Day, affirming it to be a unifying force in a divided country (by donning an apron and tucking into a boerewors sausage). At the end of 2007 National Braai Day changed its name to Braai4Heritage and the initiative received the endorsement of South Africa's National Heritage Council (NHC).

Sectary's Day Gifts Show Appreciation

Trust is a very special thing in the corporate world. Trust is what brings us sanity, allows us to sleep at night knowing that the job will be den and all things will work out in the end. That is why Secretaries are so important. Your secretary’s is like a natural sleeping tablet. You get a good night’s rest knowing that she is capable. So with all the stress that secretaries save us, a secretary's day gift is a very small, but appreciated gesture to show that you appreciate all that your secretary does for you. While you may be tempted to believe that being a secretary is just a job that needs to be done just as any other job, a Secretary is a very special type of person who has a servitude heart. They put up with tight deadlines, moody bosses and helping out when there is an emergency. While you may not be able to afford a very large salary for your secretary’s, the occasional spurge in your corporate gifting budget to rewards the secretaries in your company goes a long way to show them that you appreciate them. That is why secretary’s day gifts are such important corporate gifts, as they produce something that money cannot but – loyalty. So dig into your pocket and get a special corporate gift as a secretary’s day gift today.

Honesty in the Corporate Gift Industry

The fight for website ranking is high. Once a week I check the corporate gift ranking to see where we are situated. The Google search for corporate gifts reveals at least 115,000,000 results per day. It is mind boggling how quickly a good ranking can change and a lot of companies get good ranking for corporate gifts as they are paying for certain spots. But how do you know that your corporate gift company can deliver the goods. Over the 12 years that Belle Regalo has been in business, we have earned a reputation for meeting function deadlines. When a client has a clearly communicated function deadline for corporate gifts, then we pull out all the stops to meet that corporate gift deadline. We are honest with clients about what they can expect. For example one of our clients wanted Moleskines as corporate gifts for a function. There is only one importer in South Africa who has the licence for Moleskines. Which means that the entire country’s Moleskines has to comes through same importer. Having sold books for many years as corporate Gifts, Belle Regalo knows this very well. The Moleskines are imported from Italy. Once Moleskines arrive in the country, then they have to go through customs and the Moleskines enter into the country via the Durban harbour. Sometimes customs lets through items very quickly and some spot checks are done. However when as a country we are expecting possible crime when it comes to major events, then customs sometimes checks every single container. For example around the FIFA World Cup customs was expecting fake FIFA shirts and so started inspecting everything and that is how they uncovered the fake shirts. Back to our Moleskines as Corporate gifts. From day 1 we communicated to our client that the Moleskines were due at a certain time, but that ETA was dependant on customs. As luck would have it customs did a check and slowed everyone’s orders down. We let our client know that we could offer then unlined Moleskines in comparison to lined Moleskines. They were not happy with this and then found another supplier and asked us to send their refund for their corporate gifts to the other supplier. Now as we know that there is only one license holder to import Moleskines, we also know that if we cannot get the Moleskine stock, neither can anyone else. Moleskine in Italy has very strict contracts about what can or cannot be allowed for the importing and distribution of Moleskines in South Africa. We communicated this to the client and asked the client to make 100% sure that the supplier had the physical stock at his premises to supplier. We also got additional enquiries from Moleskines for the exact same specs as our client and when we enquired the brief was being sent by our competitor. After investigation our client found out that our competitor in fact did not have the stock and was also waiting for customs to clear as were we. We pride ourselves on being honest with our clients even though we know that some competitors get business through lying. For us the long term relationship is more valuable than fast money that comes with deceit. The end result was that the client realised that although they did not like the answer that we gave them, it was an honest answer and in this industry trust is an extremely valuable commodity. The client took the unlined Moleskines and we are privileged enough to receive future referrals to other clients from them.
