South African success tales overseas highlighted in latest publication - UK version released
The "Winning the Away Game UK Edition" is an upcoming coffee table book project that aims to shine a spotlight on over 100 South Africans excelling in various fields across the United Kingdom. This book, which is currently in production, is set to be a global showcase of South African top achievers who often go unrecognized, highlighting their success stories on a global stage.
The project, backed by The Lekker Network and Global Village Publishing, seeks to recognise and celebrate South Africans achieving great things in the UK, particularly those who may not have received the recognition they deserve. It is the inaugural edition of a 10-country series that will showcase top achievers from the South African global diaspora.
The book promises to be more than just a collection of professional success stories. Each story in the book is a portrait of perseverance, creativity, and ambition, sharing not just the professional journeys, but the personal stories of South Africans thriving in new environments while staying proudly connected to their roots.
The types of achievements highlighted in the UK edition include building fintech unicorns, directing blockbuster West End plays, and much more. Sven Boermeester, CEO of Global Village Publishing, states that they want the stories of South Africans who are flying the SA flag high to be told. Renier Lombard of The Lekker Network adds that the project is about recognising and celebrating South African wins in the UK, and connecting Saffas globally.
As of July 2025, the specific names of these top achievers have not been publicly disclosed. However, interested individuals can pre-order books or contact Daniel Esterhuyse at [email protected] for more information. Copies of the book are available for pre-order only.
In summary, the "Winning the Away Game UK edition" will serve as an authoritative showcase of South African top achievers abroad, especially in the UK, spanning multiple industries and highlighting their global impact. The project aims to provide a global stage for South African excellence and share inspiring stories that bring pride back home.
Stay tuned for future editions featuring the Top 100 South Africans from other hubs like the USA, Australia, UAE, and more.
