What we do…
Women’s Day
Women’s Day in South Africa is on the 9th August every year. We gather men and women around the world, online, to celebrate the brave women who marched to the Union buildings in 1956 to oppose the Pass Laws.
Book Festival
Africa inspires!
Every November we chat online with those who are Southern African authors, or have written about Southern Africa.
We hope that hearing these stories will inspire you to share your own.
Celebrate Gifts
If you live outside of South Africa and struggle to get a gift to your loved one, we have the solution.
We have gathered small businesses in South Africa that you can support. They will deliver gifts across South Africa.
Do you have an idea?
If there is something you think is a great idea that we could consider for our global community, please get in touch.
We are open to anything in the spirit of UBUNTU!

Testimonials
Since we launched in 2016 we have had the most wonderful time. We know the community has too!
“Thank you Dawn for always supporting and promoting SA business. You keep our SA flag flying proudly in the UK. Your heart is as cosy and warm as our sheepskin slippers are!”

“For me I started selling my baskets 2018 and didn’t have any avenue to show what I have Soo a friend introduced the market to me and it has been a blessing to me. It has been a great platform for me.”
Nako Yonike Bedu Addo
“This annual market day event is a great way to celebrate all things Southern African. We at Alexandra’s Africa really enjoyed it. Well done to the Celebrate Southern Africa team.”
Alexandra Gillies
“What a wonderful day out we had on Saturday. There was so much to see and do. It was great just sitting under trees in the shade and listening to all the sounds around. I also noticed lots of English folk enjoy a Southern African day!”
