No-one says “Howzit?” quite like a South African and judging by the turnout at the last Southern African Social on Tamborine Mountain, there are quite a few people around here who still know exactly how to answer it!
Around 120 people came together at Cauldron Distillery on February 22 for a relaxed afternoon filled with laughter, conversation, familiar accents, new friendships and plenty of stories from back home.
Following the wonderful response to that gathering, we’re doing it all over again.
The next Southern Africans on Tamborine Mountain Social will be held at Cauldron Distillery on Sunday, October 25, 2026 from 2pm.
South Africa is known as the Rainbow Nation, and these gatherings reflect a spirit of friendship, diversity and togetherness.
Whether you grew up in Southern Africa, have family or connections there, or simply want to come along and enjoy the afternoon, you will be welcomed.
There will be boerewors rolls available for purchase — because getting a group of South Africans together without boerewors would probably require some explaining!
More than anything, the afternoon is about bringing people together. It’s an opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, swap stories and perhaps discover that someone who grew up thousands of kilometres away now lives just around the corner.
There are no speeches, no formalities and no agenda. Just good company, a beautiful Tamborine Mountain setting and the opportunity to enjoy an easy-going afternoon together.
The organisers would love to see this growing social community continue to bring people together, particularly after the fantastic turnout at the February gathering.
“So whether your greeting is ‘Howzit’, ‘G’day’ or simply ‘Hello’, come along and join us.”
Bring your partner. Bring your friends. Bring your stories. We’ll bring the boerewors.
