Diaspora Awards South Africa (DASA) was created to highlight, celebrate and honor notable foreign nationals in South Africa who have genuinely worked extremely hard despite all the challenges to achieve success. Here at DASA we want to appreciate their efforts in their different chosen career paths. DASA was also created to honor foreign exemplary individuals in South Africa who have made a significant difference in their communities and contributed to the advancement of fellow foreign nationals and Africa as a whole. DASA was also created for a purpose of empowering and motivating foreign nationals in South Africa who have worked really hard to achieve success, to even do better and also to recognize all their efforts.
The ongoing mission of Diaspora Awards SouthAfrica is to highlight, appreciate, celebrate and recognize the talents of foreigners who have made contributions in SouthAfrica and beyond. Created in 2016, its inaugural event debuted in Oct of 2017
