Thanks for reading....Mark.
Hi Mark, also an old PE girl here! My hometown, but now living in Cape Town. To answer your questions, things are quite tough in SA right now but the locals are still full of hope and from what I read on expat sites there seems to be quite a few South Africans coming back home again. It is an individual choice for each and every one of them. Do some more research before you decide and if you do go ahead, drop me a line, and I will see if I can assist you with anything.

As for your field of interest, my suggestion would be to start your own business. Anyone who offers good service in SA is a winner!
