The South African Radio League has an annual Diary of Events (PDF) online. Between the month-at-a-glance pages, this calendar has information on certificates they administer such as the Worked All ZS award and Worked All Africa award.

For a bigger picture, I like their Year-at-a-Glance (PDF) calendar, for A3 paper (11.75″ x 16.5″). (I’ve already suggested that the ARRL take a look at it and consider offering one too.)

The South African Parks on the Air program looks interesting since it includes Flora and Fauna not seen in the wild anyplace near our W1 area!
Their HF Happenings (and other DX news) newsletter is downloadable and includes African IOTA information.

In response to the pandemic, they made the April 2020 issue of their magazine free to everyone. (Apparently, some other societies have done the same, so if you find one, please post a link to it!) This issue includes an adapter to use a Baofang radio as a ‘fox’, the design for the audio part of a direct-conversion receiver (SDR), information about an amateur radio exhibit they put up at a public exhibit of hobbies of all sorts, and other projects.
Don’t worry about being able to read the articles, everything I looked at was in English, with some columns also in Afrikaans. I found it very interesting!
As you can tell from the pictures above, they also have a public Facebook page “for members of the SARL (South African Radio League) and amateur radio enthusiasts under the age of 25“.
