Johannesburg - Your mates are working overseas. You miss them like crazy and want them back. How’s this for a plan - send them something that makes them so homesick they’ll be on the plane in no time.

What to send? Ever tried getting biltong through customs? You’d think it was radioactive the way those guys react. Rusks should rather be made of gold and diamonds judging by how much they cost to ship (and you just end up with crumbs once the postman has delicately drop-kicked them into touch).

ShowMax has your back. Go to maatjie.showmax.com and enter in your name and email address and we’ll send you a one-month ShowMax voucher on the house to send to your maatjie.

The best local shows

Why send them ShowMax? For the shows! Give them a proper taste of home with shows like The Wild, Binnelanders, Boer Soek ‘n Vrou, Die Byl and many more.

The ShowMax engineers have pulled of a cunning coup. Sign up and watch ShowMax in South Africa and you get more than 25 000 episodes of the best TV series and movies from Hollywood, the UK, and of course home.

But if you sign up and watch in one of 28 countries overseas, ShowMax becomes a different animal. Our service for South Africans overseas is focused on one thing and one thing only - the best shows from home. And by best, we mean the latest episodes of Binnelanders, Isibaya, Jan Braai vir Erfenis, Republiek of Zoid Afrika and many more are on ShowMax within 24 hours of them airing in South Africa. There’s no better way for your friends overseas to stay connected to home.

The voucher is free and can only be redeemed by users outside of South Africa. Forward the voucher code we send you to your maatjie and they can activate the code at www.showmax.com/voucher. It’s quick, painless and worry-free.

ShowMax works on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, Apple TV, and is also compatible with Chromecast and AirPlay. Your mates can even download shows onto their mobile tech and watch while on the plane back to you.
