Hi everyone.

Me and my husband (late 20's) from Pretoria are moving to Basel on Sunday 27th April. We are looking for South Africans and immigrants from other countries out there and also an english speaking church we could join. We are very excited and are looking forward to chatting with and meeting new people and exploring Switzerland. We love cycling and want to join a club.

Can't wait to hear from you out there. "Sien uit daarna om ook nog in Afrikaans te kuier."

Hallo - We're moving to Lausanne end of May (for three years) . Already have some Afrikaans friends (also from Pretoria) there - same sort of age group. Good luck with the move. Have you found a place to stay yet?
