Calling all South Africans

Please tell me is there a genuine South African Day in Doha. I don't mean a desert trip or a Xmas party something out of the ordinary. I want to hear our music taste our food and feel South African. Dubai has an amazing day for South Africans, even brought Johnny Clegg and Just Ginger in for us. Come on guys I am proudly South African and you ??????

I agree with you, will be really nice to do something like that here as I attended a few in Dubai when I was there and they always turned out to be good fun, it also created a meeting place for South Africans. Nothing against other nationalities neither but have more interaction with them than South Africans due to work.

I am not saying "dont try the local" but what about just maybe once a year have our "local". Food here is interesting and I enjoy it, but lets face it we do miss our local things. Nothing against Qatar.

I am "proudly" wherever I am, and I don't understand German tourists in Senegal asking for Sauerkraut and Pork when they can have tons of fresh shrimps from the Gambia river every morning.
