Adapting to a new country is a challenge. Worldwide is here to help you. The best way to ensure that you are the best you that you can be in a new environment is by building a network. Networks are not just for business people; it is also a valuable way to build a support base for those days when the longing becomes too much and everyone is just too far away.

Worldwide’s World Guide is where South African businesses from around the world get together to create a community. Small businesses can enjoy Worldwide’s free service abroad and list their businesses on the interactive guide themselves. In this way, they become part of the wonderful networking opportunity!

This month we focus on businesses in New Zealand that you can support. New Zealand is as diverse and rich as South Africa’s own countryside. No wonder thousands of South Africans emigrate to this country full of opportunities and beautiful scenery every year.

Entertain your inner caracal at Little Africa

With Plek van die vleisvreters as slogan, it’s hard not to think of South Africa’s Karoo chops and biltong. This treasure can be found in Wairarapa, and they offer everything from biltong and boerewors to coffee and real fruit ice cream. Here you can also put together your perfect parcel from home with Ouma Rusks, Ceres Juice, Ultramel and Fritos! This institution believes that our heritage is engraved on the heart of every South African, no matter where in the world they are.

Recall your fondest memories with Kiekiez

What is a sea holiday without a few photos or kiekies, that is snapshots? Leandri runs Kiekiez in Auckland, and you just have to visit their Facebook page to see why photography, no matter in what country, is essential to bring families and friends close again.

Hold on to your faith

ACK Hamilton: ’n Gemeente met Oop Harte is an Afrikaans Christian Church in Hamilton with a ministry in the farming communities of Piako and Te Awamutu.

If everyone is far away, send SAarkie a parcel

This institution specialises in sending parcels around the world. What could be better than sending a piece of New Zealand home or receiving a piece of home? ’n Pakkie vir SAarkie chooses the best way to send your parcel with the right agents in the most appropriate way.

If your heart belongs to a farmhouse …

If you believe your happiness begins where the tarmac ends, but that tarmac, unfortunately, led to New Zealand, do not stress! Affi Plaas brings you your favourite traditional farm clothes, textiles, scarves and much more for your comfortable new New Zealand (farm)house. Affi Plaas imports all goods from South Africa. This means these gifts are as genuine plaas as only South African products can be. Luckily, Christmas is just around the corner …

Stick a plaster (or sticker!) on your sore heart

Paws Printing provides handmade designs, tailored to your individual needs – from vehicle stickers, wall art and clothing to business cards and stickers.
