It’s all well and good that your friend decided the grass is greener in New Zealand, or the sun is hotter in Australia, or the pound in England is more attractive – but what should you do if you miss your buddies? You can try to lure them back to South Africa, and let’s be honest: the rand will not help you. Your best option is to create a 30-day ShowMax voucher on maatjie.showmax.com for your friends abroad. This will remind them for an entire month of everything in South Africa they miss. Your friends can visit the most interesting people and beautiful places in the country with Jack Parow in Dis hoe ons rol; they can feel comfortable and safe in the company of the president of Zoid Afrika, Karen Zoid; and they can take the road with complete series of Boer soek ʼn Vrou. It’s the best South African entertainment all in one place and because you’re cute and generous and South African, they don’t have to take out a dollar or pound to enjoy it.

With ShowMax your friends abroad can keep up with everything in South Africa. Brand new episodes of the most popular programmes are available to them within 24 hours after the South African broadcast, so when you Skype they can chat along about news and politics and the last winner of Koekedoor or what’s happening on Varsity Sing. And hey, maybe nothing will make them come back, but at least they won’t feel so far away if they know exactly what is happening on Binnelanders in Pippa’s life at the moment. Make a difference in the lives of your friends abroad: give them a piece of home to enjoy in their new homes. Go to maatjie.showmax.com and follow the instructions to warm your friends’ hearts.
