It is a challenge to adapt in a new country. AfriForum Worldwide is here to help you. The best way to ensure that you are the best version of yourself in a new environment, is by building a network. Networks are not only for businesspeople; it is also a valuable way to build a support base for those days when you miss home, and everyone is just too far away.

AfriForum Worldwide’s World Guide is where South African businesses from all over the world come together to form a community. Owners of small businesses can make use of AfriForum Worldwide’s free service abroad and list their business on the interactive guide. This way they become part of this wonderful networking opportunity!

Netvleish Meat Club

We treat every piece of meat as if it were for someone we consider a potential friend and who could become part of our big family. We don’t just make another piece of biltong, we put a little love into it. For us, every product that leaves our door is an invitation card with the words “You are welcome in this family”. That’s why the Gauchés also host the Netvleish farmer’s festival here on our farm every year. It’s our thank-you event where we treat each and every one to the best meat and pap en sous in Canada for free. Read more.
