Where are you from 'originally'?

You have to hand it to us South Africans. Over the course of countless newsletters, we've made mention of our resilience in the face of strife, our tendency to find humour in times of trouble and our myriad of quirky habits and sayings that raise the eyebrows of foreign visitors to our shores.

Another thing that sets us apart from so many other nations is just how varied we all are, with a plethora of hair colours, eye colours, skin tones, heights - we are literally the world in one place. And that's why we are the Rainbow Nation!

That said, it's not uncommon to wonder just where in the world your roots began. After all, trying to tell an American you're South African might still have them asking 'Okay, but where are you from originally?' Thanks to our main deal of a BioCertica DNA health and heritage kit, you'll now be able to answer that question in incredible detail! On top of that, you'll gain some pretty cool insight into your health and the best way to take care of it.
