Eish!

Yebo Gogo!
Good afternoon my fellow expatriates! This is just a quick post to let you all know that the SA Club Luxembourg has been invited to join Eish SA. Eish SA is a fast-growing directory for South African businesses, organizations, and incorporated individuals.

"Eish SA is a map driven website directory and we currently boast over 100 categories, representing over 25 000 websites in SA. Our aim is to list over 100 000 websites by the end of 2008 and of course become South Africa's Premier website directory. Please go onto www.eishsa.co.za and have a look."

"It's free of charge and we are predicting a million hits per month by the end of 2008. Please click the following link to list your business - www.eishsa.info/addsite. You will notice that we have 2 listing options and if you do not see your business category on our front page don't worry as we will create a category for you."

"If you do not have a website we can put together an information page for you with images, your company information and direct link to your email address. This page could also be used as a website address for your business. This would be a once off cost of R 300 for development and then a further R25 per month for your Premier listing, real value for money. Click the following link to see an example of an information
page - A&S Foods."
