The backstory 📖

The
backstory 📖

I made a lighthearted video about being the last one in my friend group still in South Africa. To my surprise, it went viral! Over 235,000 views and 7,000 shares!

Inspired by the response I wondered if I could organise a run to make most of the moment and bring together viewers who identify with the experiences and themes underpinning my video.

I posted another video saying if it got 100 likes, I’d organise a run. Within hours it passed 100, then 200… now it’s sitting at over 2400 likes, 535 shares and 68k views!

I hosted the first Saffa So Good run on 25 October 2025 and it was a massive success. Join us for the next run planned for November 29!

We've partnered with Our Local in Seapoint.

There'll be 25 FREE coffees available. First come, first serve!
You must be on the sign up list and complete the run to claim a free coffee.

If you miss out on a freebie, you'll still be able to get a discount on your coffee - R10 off. Whoo!

Did I mention I also made a video about cafes that went viral?

The vibes ☀️

This is as organic and real as it gets.

I'm just your everyday Capetonian whose passionately believed in the value of friendship for as long as I can remember. It was therefore really hard to watch my friends leave the country one by one. I'm aware this is the reality of South Africa these days, but that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to people you love.

This run is about uniting those who identify with the experiences and themes I share in my videos and who share my belief that friendship is not just a nice-to-have, but rather central to a fulfilling life and essential to the ongoing project we call South Africa.

This isn’t a corporate event. This is as organic and real as it gets.

I’m just a regular dude who has believed passionately in the value of friendship for as long as I can remember.
