Mzansi Beyond Borders: a home away from home for South Africans

Mzansi Beyond Borders (MBB) is a community for South Africans living far from home. "Mzansi" is a popular name for South Africa.

Their motto says it best: A Global Hug Across Oceans.

What MBB is about

• Lifting each other up. MBB supports South Africans who moved abroad to build a better life.
• Celebrating the culture. Members keep South African culture alive and share it together.
• A home away from home. MBB wants every member to have a warm and happy place to belong.

Why it matters
Moving to a new country is exciting, and it can also be lonely. A community that shares your language, your food and your humour makes the hard days easier and the good days better. That is the home MBB builds.

Meet MBB at their events
MBB brings its community together at its own events, like the Year-End Gala Dinner. Watch Waegook Events for their next one.
