Saffa | South Africans in UAE

About

Howzit. Saffa is the digital stoep for South Africans living in the UAE and the UK. It is the place you go when you want to find your people, ask the question you cannot Google, or just hear an accent that sounds like home. WHAT IS INSIDE People. A directory of Saffas near you. See who is in your city, what they do, and where in South Africa they are from. Connect, follow and message. The Stoep. The community feed. Ask for a plumber, sell a couch, find a padel partner, or tell everyone your visa finally came through. Businesses. Saffa-owned and Saffa-friendly businesses, from the butcher who does proper boerewors to the accountant who understands SARS. Events. Braais, rugby screenings, markets, quiz nights. See who else is going before you commit. Sport. Live scores, fixtures and tables for the Boks, the Proteas, the football and the F1. Plus which venues near you are showing the game. The Kombuis. Recipes from home, written by people who know what a proper melktert tastes like. Essentials. Straight answers on visas, tax, schools, banking and housing, written for your country and kept current. Chat. Direct messages and community groups. Shop. Biltong, droëwors, sauces and the things you cannot find locally. TWO COUNTRIES, ONE COMMUNITY Your feed, your businesses, your events and your essentials follow the country you live in.
