South African Goodies

Anybody who has been away from their friends, family, home will tell you that those first few months of home-sickness are really difficult. It takes a lot not to pack it all in and return home. Once you get through those first few months though, it definitely gets easier although you of course still have your moments.

What many have found is that the comfort foods of South Africa can really ease the 'home-sickness'....items like Pronutro, Ouma rusks, Sparletta cream soda....all these items that are not available in the superstores across the UK, but very soon will be available at www.zauk.co.uk for delivery!

ZAUK will be launching in September where you will be able to get information to help you settle in the UK, shop for your favourite items, get South African services (including very reasonable courier service) and much more.

Register today to be apart of all things South African in the UK.

Introducing ZAUK

ZAUK is about to launch - we are just a few weeks away from the website going live. Go and check it out at www.zauk.co.uk.

ZAUK aims to bring people, business, services and information together to form a collaborative hub for South Africans in the United Kingdom.

Through the collaborative hub:
  1. make available direct to members, products and services needed by South African residents in the UK
  2. create social networks and events for South African companies and South Africans in the UK
  3. connect South Africans together through on-line profiles
  4. raise funds for nominated charities in South Africa

South African companies will be able to promote their products and services directly to their target market namely expat South Africans in the UK. By doing so companies will be able to have greater market penetration, increase sales and at the same time reduce advertising and marketing costs by using a single portal with the largest number of potential customers. Our USP is being a 'one stop shop', encompassing all that other websites offer whilst providing companies direct access to their target market.

ZAUK will address specific needs for both its customers and members:

  • reduce time marketing products and services
  • reduce advertising and marketing costs through having access directly to their target market
  • increase sales through greater target market penetration and brand awareness
  • the facility to promote specials/events/functions etc directly to their target market
