You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them – Maya Angelou. Emigrating to another country is a taxing experience. But, when strong women unite, they can overcome any adversity.
It was a jolly occasion when Friends of South Africa (FoSA) in Nashville held their annual Spring bring-and-braai at the end of March. Grant and Maresa Hensley’s home, with a typical Tennessee barn, and bright blue skies offered a perfect setting for a typical South African kuier.
Louis Oosthuizen may be one of the world’s top-ranking golf players living the big dream in America, but the simplicity of a good old braai is still one of his favourite ways to spend time with his wife Nel-Mare and daughters Sophia, Jana and Emma.
On the occasion of Heritage Day, let us promise ourselves that we will do our bit to preserve our heritage. This year Saffas in the USA illustrated how much they are still connected to their South African roots by showing up at various events held across the country.
Springbok games always provide an opportunity for Saffas to get together and support their favourite team.
Potjiekos is such a great South African tradition and this year’s Texas Potjie Festival celebrated 20 years of great fun and sharing a heritage with friends and family.
Daar is niks so lekker as ‘n sokkie op ‘n Saterdagaand nie! Vra maar vir die sowat 100 Suid-Afrikaners wat onlangs uit Georgia, Tenessee en Kentucky opgeruk het om die Vastrap Sokkie en Boeremark in Mableton GA by te woon.
The Atlanta Saffa crowd loves a great kuier and recently they held a ‘80s throwback party.
The weather was perfect, the treats were delicious and the kuier was outstanding! The July Tannie’s Tea, held at the home of Cornelia Vance in Hendersonville, was well supported and there were even South African favourites like biltong and boerewors for sale
The recent Kentucky Potjie was a roaring success with 150 Saffas gathering around the aromas of chicken curry, lamb, oxtail, beef, chicken and vegetarian potjies while reminiscing about the shared traditions of their home country.
