Business in the spotlight: Bushveld Kiwi
Every business has a story – one of courage, dreams and a touch of South African determination. When people pack their bags and set out for new horizons, they carry more than belongings: they carry creativity, culture and heart. AfriForum Worldwide believes these stories deserve to be told. Through our Business in the Spotlight series, we celebrate South African businesses who bring a sense of “home” to every corner of the world, where language, heart and service still go hand in hand.
This week we take you to New Zealand, where Bushveld Kiwi offers you everything you need under one roof.

Out and about: an e-mail from Australia
In ‟Out and about”, we talk to people who currently live abroad or have lived and worked there. This week, we talk to Louis de Klerk and his wife Louna who lives in Australia.
Hello, Louis and Louna. It’s great talking to you!
From where in South Africa are you, and why did you move to Australia?
We lived in Paarl. I (Louis) grew up in Wellington and Louna in Paarl. We met six years ago and got married a few months later. We were both victims of the Covid recession and lost our jobs at the time. Louna couldn’t find a job as a teacher, and I couldn’t find a permanent job, so I had to rely on contract work. We struggled terribly and had to start looking at other options to provide for ourselves and our children.
