I like projects like SA Promo. I like them because I believe that alot of people who leave SA are either coming back at some point or didn’t want to leave in the first place.
In this way SA Promo provides South Africans with an entry point in to the country they have left for whatever reason and I am fond of this. I am not in the business of calling for punishment for departure or abandonment. I simply believe that some people need to leave SA as much as some need to stay.
Whether I like to admit it or not, I think that everyone has an underlying passion for SA. Whether it is a passion that turns into a hatred or a success and love, either way it’s a passion.
Some explanation of SA Promo Magazine by SA Promo:
SA PROMO Magazine is a South African magazine brought to you by South Africans abroad for South Africans abroad.
South Africans in America, Amsterdam, Asia, Australia, Bangkok, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Cyprus, Dubai, Dublin, Egypt, Europe, Finland, Florida, Fort Lordedale, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Mauritius, Miami, Middle East, Netherlands, New York, New Zealand, NZ, Oman, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Sydney, Taiwan, Texas, Thailand, Toronto, Turkey, UK, USA, Vietnam…
With millions of South Africans living Abroad, SA PROMO recognised the need for a medium to network these communities and allow them to communicate with each other in printed and online new media mediums.
Paging through the latest edition, number 9 I think, I noticed a great feature about SA bloggers around the world. This edition featured a blogger in Canada and Thailand.
I think that this magazine can only grow and prove to be a success amongst expats around the world. Hell, I love it and I am still in SA!
Keep up the great work and get reading now.

Our company specializes in providing foreign companies and expatriates with a range of services including international medical insurance, children’s trust funds, retirement planning, offshore bank accounts, multi currency mortgages and investments as well as group medical and pension schemes.
I appreciate that at the moment everything is in a global recession. However many of our clients found it very useful and beneficial to review their circumstances and it helped them to save money, reduce costs and capitalize on the opportunities that currently exists.

Whats up, This really is a excellent summation, I located your blog checking google for any similar subject and discovered this. I couldnt find as well significantly other tips and data on this posting, so it was wonderful to find this one. I am going to most likely be returning to think about various other articles or blog posts that you simply have written another time.
