- Keep the community focused
SA Connect is for South Africans living in the United States or preparing to move there, aged 18 or older. Share practical advice, experiences, local connections and useful resources. Do not use the community for general global news, political campaigning or unrelated political arguments.
- Connection without advertising
We do not run ads. Unsolicited promotional messages, repetitive marketing, affiliate spam and deceptive promotions are not allowed. Relevant business listings and requested service recommendations are welcome in the appropriate community spaces and remain subject to review.
- Protect personal information
Do not post street addresses, passwords, verification codes, banking details, identity documents or another person’s private information.
- No scams or exploitation
Do not ask for gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers or unsafe advance payments. Never exploit a member’s immigration, financial, housing or personal circumstances.
- Be respectful
No harassment, hate, threats, sexual exploitation, doxxing, stalking or targeted abuse.
- Use clear labels
Separate personal experience from official information. Do not present community opinion as professional advice.
- Use messages carefully
Do not pressure anyone to move to another platform or share sensitive information.
- Keep offers genuine
Jobs, rides, housing leads, goods, businesses and recommendations must be accurate. Membership never creates a verification badge.
Reporting and enforcement
Use report and block tools when something is unsafe, misleading or abusive. Moderators may remove content, request more information, restrict participation, suspend accounts or preserve records for a serious safety review.
For nonconsensual intimate images, use the public image-removal request. Copyright complaints may be sent to info@saconnect.online with the work and content URL, your good-faith ownership statement, signature and contact information.
Our child safety standards explain our zero-tolerance approach to child sexual abuse and exploitation.
Immediate danger
SA Connect is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
