Hi SA Expats - we are looking to get South Africans more involved in our Freedom Day on 27 April

We need the following:

1. Ideas on what to do on the day (bearing in mind it is a Wednesday).
2. A couple of people to assist with arrangements to co-ordinate with the SA High Commission to get things done.

Show us your stuff! Please post replies by Thursday 24 March.

Dankie!

Hanlie,
My head is spinning with ideas, wish I had the capital to make them all reality .

1. I would not mind a plain old fashion braai to meet other SA Expats, with SA music (english, afrikaans, zulu, xhosa - die hele spul

), SA wine, SA bygeregte, malva poeding, potbrood, etc etc.
2. What if we as SA Expats take a roundabout (some of the roundabouts on the motorway looks really

) and beautify it? But we would need to have a committed team to maintain it thereafter. The flower beds can be design to represent focus points in SA or just the SA flag.
3. We can ask SA business people here in MU to donate funds to a welfare organization a cultural organization seeing that it is Freedom day we are celebrating.
4. We can sent out a request via Facebook, the Expats blog, maybe newspapers etc to ALL SA Expats to brag with our SA flag on that day. We can have the flags displayed at SA businesses, on our cars, our homes, the kids can take small flags to school. Surely that will raise a lot of questions and will start some good conversations about SA and specifically Freedom day and the reason why it is celebrated.

Let me know if I can help with any arrangements
