What’s This?

Welcome to Brand South Africa Blog.

Here you will find South Africa as observed by people who love the place, whose creative juices are stirred by it, who admire the way we do things and who get it when we say South Africa is alive with possibility.

We hope you are one of those people and that you will share your own observations with us and help tell South Africa’s story.

You can contribute directly by dropping us a line.

If you have your own blog or any other online presence, we’ll happily link to you, embed your videos, subscribe to your feeds and otherwise help you get heard and seen — in the hope that you will do the same for us.

We will also encourage you to attach special tags to the content you post on Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and other social media platforms.

For example, we’d like to showcase makaraba, those amazing pieces of headgear crafted from construction hard hats that have become a uniquely South African art form. If you have a picture of a great makaraba, simply post it to Flickr and tag it makaraba — it will automatically appear here too.

Or if you suddenly have the urge to pay South Africa a compliment on Twitter, use the hashtag #SAis and you tweet will immediately be posted here as well.

So join the conversation and let’s tell the South African story together!
