New members of South Africa forum, introduce yourself here – 4th quarter of 2015

Hi guys

I have been in SA for just over a week now and still getting used to everything. I am living near the Gateway centre in Umhlanga. Whilst everyone has been very friendly and helpful I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss with what to do with myself outside work as it's just me on my tod at the mo.

Hi Winnum,

I like yourself have recently arrived from the UK. I can fully appreciate how hard it is being here when you don't know anybody or where the best places to go are. With that in mind I started a group on meetup called Durban British Expats. We are meeting up this Wed evening at The Dutch down in the village feel free to join the group and come along. I have been lucky in that I have managed to meet a lot of other fellow Brits here in Umhlanga and would be happy to introduce you to them. I am also living in Gateway so if you would like to go for a beer sometime drop me a line.

Regards
Ian

Hello, my name is Daniel Isern and I'm from Barcelona. I am a high school sutent and i'm doing a research work about the Apartheid in South Africa. It would be possible to do an interview in private/public, or bymail? It will help me a lot in my work to know better what happened with diferents points of view and it would go either to expand my research work.
The questions are:
1. Over what period of time you were in South Africa ?
2. How you explain the apartheid era that you live?
3. How were organized and distributed the white and black population in the country?
4. What scenes of injustice and what you scored more during your stay in South Africa?
5. As a citizen you think has been the proper performance of Nelson Mandela?
6. What do you think were their successes and what their mistakes?
7. How do you see South Africa today? In what ways do you think has improved compared to 20 years ago and which do you think is worse?

Hi
I am Lehto Amunyela, Tourism student from Namibia, Currently studying towards a Bachelor's Degree in Tourism at the Polytechnic of Namibia.

I am hardworking, dedicated and can work well with challenging tasks. In addition, I am helpful without hesitation and have the energy and desire to work well with people who require assistance. I would like to improve my experience in working with a diverse group of people and in an environment that promotes entrepreneurship. This job will therefore enhance my skills acquired through my academics together with the theoretical knowledge and understanding that I have in customer service, cross selling, good interpersonal and communication skills and computer skills.

I am not scared of work and eager to learn as much as possible. I adapt very quickly to a new working environment and get along with most people. I believe that I am more efficient when working under pressure and get things done fast and affectively. I also find working with people from different cultures and at corporate levels a challenge and it inspires me to do my best in my daily duties. The more responsibilities I have the better I function.

im a professional painter and building maintener

Hello workntravel,

Welcome to Expat.com.

We always ask new members to introduce themselves on their first post. Can you do so please?

I also invite you to post an ad in Jobs in South Africa. This section will help you in your search.

Furthermore it allows you to choose the job category such as IT Manager etc and also the contract types.

Thank You,
