SafCham Watering Hole 2026: Flavor, Friends & Fantastic Vibes!

What happens when you mix South African flavor, great company, and a spring afternoon in Seoul? You get pure magic 🍷✨

This year’s SafCham Watering Hole delivered it all — bold bites, vibrant drinks, and the kind of conversations that turn introductions into real connections. From business insights to world affairs (and plenty of laughs in between), the energy was electric from start to finish.

A big shoutout to our amazing host, Republic Itaewon, for setting the perfect scene, and to our dedicated board for bringing everything together so seamlessly.

Huge thanks to our sponsors who added that extra flair:
🥩 Braai Republic – bringing authentic SA flavor
🍷 Lekka Vines and CSR Wines – sponsoring top-tier wines
🧢 Kamu – keeping us stylish

And of course, to our incredible community — Qatar Airways, Absa South Africa Dwight School Seoul, D&A LLC, Sauce, and the Konnected team, and everyone who joined — you’re what makes these moments truly special.

Don’t miss our next event! In collaboration with the British Chamber of Commerce in South Korea, join us on April 18th for Lawn Bowls — updates coming soon!

Same time next year? We’ll be ready 😉
More connections. More flavor. More memories.

A little taste of South Africa in the heart of Seoul.🇿🇦🇰🇷

Last Friday, the South African Embassy, together with the South-African Chamber of Commerce in South Korea , had the pleasure of hosting a vibrant networking evening at the Andaz Seoul — bringing together our growing community for an evening of connection, culture, and great conversation.

Guests were welcomed with some familiar South African favourites: biltong, droëwors, and warm lamb pies, all perfectly complemented by Savanna, wines and Klipdrift. With South African music filling the room and laughter echoing across the venue, the atmosphere felt a little like home — even thousands of kilometers away with a little bit of old school Saffa dancing!

The excitement didn’t stop there. Our raffle draw brought plenty of cheers as more than ₩2 million worth of sponsored prizes found their way to some very happy winners.
We would like to thank all the sponsors Andaz Seoul, Dwight School Seoul, Africa Insight, Braai Republic Itaewon, 법무법인(유한) 대륙아주 | D&A LLC, South-African Chamber of Commerce in South Korea, JK Plastic Surgery, Weave Living and the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa, Seoul.

But beyond the food, drinks, and prizes, the evening was about something bigger — building bridges between South Africa and South Korea, strengthening friendships, and growing a community of people who share a connection to both countries.

This event marked a fantastic start to what promises to be an exciting year for the Chamber. And if this evening was anything to go by, there’s a lot to look forward to.

We’re already preparing for the next gathering on 27 March 😁'The Watering Hole' — and we hope to see even more familiar and new faces there.😎 (Information will be shared on Friday March 6th)

Because when South Africans gather… there’s always good music, good stories, and a little bit of magic in the air!!
