This is the website of and for Southern Africans, their spouses, partners and children and friends living in the Maritimes.
Namibians, Zimbabweans and people from other Southern African countries and their friends are welcome to join in the fun as are our Canadian friends. We promise to display your flag too.
There has been very little activity over the last two years and it is about time that we get together again.
Some of us watch rugby whenever the Springboks play but we would love to have a bigger participation.
For the Tri-Nations that start on the 18th of July we plan a competition to forecast the scores of each of the nine matches. Goto the Tri-Nations page for more information.
Our potluck dinner held at the Rowes’ house on Saturday evening May 10, 2008 was attended by about 10 people including a few Canadians.

The worsstop and biltong making event took place on Saturday May 24th at the Connells' place.
This was our fourth worsstop event and by now most people had a good idea of what it was all about. There were a few newcomers who were initiated into the "art" of making boerewors.
The braai afterwards had to be done in the rain, but we were not put off by it.
We had two simultaneous demonstrations on how to make biltong. Both showed that there is not much of a secret in the preparation of the meat. The most important aspect is to hang it to dry in an atmosphere where the relative humidity is not more than 45% and that a biltong box costing $100 or more is not necessary.
