The reunion is part of the KZN Ebandla initiative launched by the province’s premier, S’bu Ndebele, to enlist successful KZN “alumni” in support of of the region’s economic development.

Ebandla parallels what the GSA project is attempting on a national scale, so we naturally think it is a terrific idea and strongly urge our members to attend the New York event, which follows successful gatherings in Johannesburg, Cape Town and, most recently, London. Even if you can’t attend, please spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

You can learn more about Ebandla here. Contact Andrzej Kiepiela (SA Cell: +27 82 653 2522) or Kim Foxon (+27 82 603 9319).

GSA members, and potential members are invited to our Chicago event, co-hosted with Homecoming Revolution to be held on April 24 at 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Brookhaven Wine Room at Kendall College.

Homecoming Revolution tries to encourage South Africans living abroad to return home and provides support for their return. GSA recognises that some South Africans have made the US their home and will not be returning. We aim to encourage goodwill toward the country by facilitating the provision of your assistance to South Africans at home.

The objectives of the two organisations have synergy. We have thus decided to host events at which we meet you, talk to you, hear from you, exhange ideas etc. Details of event dates, times and venue will follow by invitation and on this website soon.
