The usual word in English and Afrikaan speaking communities is "braai". Pronounced Bry like in Fry and Sky.
"We're having a braai on Saturday"
"Let's braai on Saturday"
"Suzie will have a beach braai for her birthday"
Its an Afrikaans word meaning roast.
Nobody uses "Barbecue" or the Australian version "Barbie" unless talking to foreigners and translating for their benefit.
There is a culture around "braai-ing".
All the men gather around the fire with a beer in one hand and talk about violent sports while the host toasts large quantities of red meat - preferably venison, though fish braais are done in coastal areas. The buck or fish should ideally have been shot or caught by the host or his brother-in-law.
Real men use big charcoal or wood fires for braais. The urban weaklings will use a gas braai, but when this abomination happens the men don't gather around the so-called "fire" as a way of showing their disapproval.
While this is happening all the women gather in the kitchen and make salads, bread rolls and stiff maize porridge to consume with the meat. They talk about pregnancy, babies, TV soapies and who is to be married (or divorced) next.
