Thumbs up Greetings from sunny South Africa

Hello everyone, just joined here.....looks great.

I have been in SA my entire life and have no intention of emmigrating but I do love to assist expats with supplying their favourite South African Goodies.

Wishing you all a wonderful day, love Mamma

Welcome to the forum! I lived in South Africa for a couple of years long ago, in Welkom of all places. I remember all the really good wine for a couple of rand a bottle...

Are you going to be shipping biltong to people?

Dear Synthia

Thank you for the warm welcome. Unfortunately we can't do biltong as her Majesty's revenue and customs services won't allow it. We would love to do wine but the cost with shipping, just doesn't make it practical. I do however have a huge range of favourite SA medicines, anything from Corenza-C to Citro Soda, Safyr Bleu etc, beautiful rugby jerseys, zippo's, Jamie Uys and Leon Schuster DVD's, SA art, aggg "sommer baie goed" Let me know if there's anything else that you miss from home.

Love Mamma
