Could it cause some problem for us in Johannesburg? Could people be "offended" because of a mid-black-mid-white guy who is married to a white woman?

Sorry if it is a fool doubt, but it would be very good to know your opinion about it.

Davi, this particular situation is a LOT more relaxed than it was during Apartheid. You will fit in just fine, no problem, especially as you are familiar with dangerous security issues and.... you have a job offer! Unemployment is one of SA's largest burdens. Colour is no longer the major focus as it used to be.
