Singles nights for divorced people · South Africa

Singles nights where everyone has been married before.

In short

After Divorce runs mixed socials and a monthly singles night for divorced and separated men and women in South Africa. Everyone there has been through a divorce, so nobody has to explain theirs. The events are free to join, held in person, and there for when you feel ready to meet someone.

When it happens

What to expect

No apps, no swiping

You meet people the old way: in a room, over a quiz or a meal, more than once. You learn more from an afternoon than from a profile.

Everyone has a past

Kids, an ex, a decree of divorce. It is the starting point here, not the awkward third-date conversation.

Socials first, singles nights second

The Saturday parkrun and Sunday socials are just company. The singles night is the one where people come hoping to meet someone.

No rush

If your divorce is recent, give the men's or women's meetups a few months first. You will know when you are ready.

Questions people ask

Where can divorced singles meet in South Africa?
After Divorce runs mixed socials and a monthly singles night for divorced and separated people. They are free to join and held in person, as an alternative to dating apps.
How soon after divorce should I start dating?
There is no fixed rule. A fair test is whether you can spend a weekend alone without it hurting, and talk about your ex without anger doing the talking. Until then, the men's and women's meetups are the better place to start.
Is the singles night speed dating?
No. It is a relaxed evening, such as a dinner or a quiz, where everyone is single and divorced. There are no timers and no matching.
Do I have to be divorced already?
For the socials, separated is fine. For singles nights we ask that your marriage is over in practice, not only on bad days.
