SA People celebrates South Africans everywhere, in South Africa and overseas.
SA People is part of the Blue Sky Publications group, publishers of The South African, one of South Africa’s largest and fastest-growing news publications.
It is a news website with a sense of community that connects and celebrates South Africans worldwide. The site publishes mostly positive content, aimed primarily at the expat market, but enjoyed equally by those back home.
SA People was founded in 2009 by two expats behind SA’s largest reuniting website, SAReunited. Since then, SA People has become the go-to site for South Africans abroad, whether for news, tips on navigating their new lives abroad, or to connect with their roots. SA People offers the SA diaspora a place to enjoy familiar humour, stories and breathtaking photos of the land, they still call home. Source
