A baie dankie to The South African Shop for backing the South African Institute of Canada as a founding member! If you’re missing the good stuff from back home, these are the guys to know.

Why The South African Shop?

Operating out of West Vancouver, The South African Shop is an online-only store that delivers all your favorite South African goodies across Canada at proper prices. If you’re anywhere near the North Shore, you can arrange a local pickup or delivery, but everything else ships straight to your door.

What’s in the Shop?

Sadly, no biltong or boerewors (thanks to Canada’s strict import rules), but pretty much everything else you’d find in a proper Saffa pantry:

✔️ Ouma Rusks – because coffee without rusks just isn’t the same
✔️ Mrs. Ball’s Chutney – for your next braai, stew, or straight out of the bottle (we won’t judge)
✔️ Peppermint Crisp & Tennis Biscuits – in case you need to whip up a Peppermint Crisp Tart on short notice
✔️ Appletiser – because sometimes you just need a taste of home

And loads more—all at the best prices in Canada. No more paying crazy import markups!

How Does It Work?

• Orders ship every Tuesday, so plan ahead.
• Bulk shipping keeps costs low, meaning you save big compared to other stores.
• If you’re on the North Shore, you can arrange a local pickup or delivery.

Making SA Goodies Accessible to All South Africans in Canada

The South African Shop was started with one simple goal: to make it easier for South Africans across Canada—especially those far from specialty stores—to get their hands on the flavors of home without breaking the bank.
