Our story

Nou gaan ons braai.

Braaier at the fire with a Dax Tong

South Africa has a great "bring and braai" culture where the men stand around the fire and braai their meat to perfection.

It started with one braaier who always found himself packing his own tongs when visiting friends. The borrowed ones never felt right — too stiff, too loose, too short — and he realised what a difference a proper tong makes to the whole braai experience.

So he set out to find the perfect braai tong and stumbled upon the Dax tong, manufactured in Port Elizabeth for the last 40 years. That discovery became a vision, and in 2022 Dutchman was established to give every braai enthusiast the same sense of satisfaction at the fire.

Well researched, tried and properly tested, Dutchman products are guaranteed premium braai goods that will add to the experience of every traditional South African get-together.
