SA PROMO Magazine for South Africans Abroad

History

SA Promo was founded in November 2006 by J. C. Muller.

Its founders saw an opportunity after South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth post-apartheid. This allowed South Africans to apply for a working holiday visa to live and work in the United Kingdom for a period of two years. The United Kingdom saw an influx from South Africa, many of whom have subsequently settled in the country. On 27 November 2008 the UK working holiday visa was replaced by a Point Based Visa System. The South African government does not have a reciprocal agreement with the British government, and therefore no longer qualifies for this category of visa.

In 2014 the SA Promo changed focus to cater for all South Africans and not just South Africans abroad.[1]
