Maseru - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
IPAs and Mexican food. - Aug 2020
Black beans, baby/kid food (lots of extra sugar in foods here!), cereals, good coffee. - May 2016
Canned black beans. We made everything else work, or could buy on Amazon, etc. I utilized the layette shipment through State Department when we had our son, but we could have purchased most baby things in South Africa if we had to. - Aug 2015
Chocolate chips, brown sugar, baking chocolate, lime juice, and U.S. snack foods. Everything else we can generally get here (including pita, flour tortillas, many other "exotic" items for Africa). - Jun 2010
You can get most things here. But if you like high tech gadgets bring those or be prepared to go to Bloemfontein (90 minutes) or even Johannesburg (4 hours) to get them. Bring your own DVDs unless you want to cross the border to Ladybrand to rent them. No cinemas in Maseru. - Mar 2009
