Default Moving to SA

Hi there,

Durban is a wonderful place to live. I am married to a born and bread scotsman who will neber return to the UK. We enjoy the outdoors far too much.

Durban, too, has a large expatriate community.

Good luck

When I was there, in addition to the obvious issue of apartheid, Welkom was a booming community with a lot of ex-patriate workers. In the two years I was there, I had one employee from the Netherlands, two from England, and one from Israel.

I'm sure Welkom wouldn't be like that now, but I wonder about Durban and Capetown.
