Hi Maverick! Pleased to meet you! I also live in Cape Town - and agree with you, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

As Stravinsky said, your post is very well balanced, but at the end of the day, what i have discovered, is the best place to be is where your heart is. I am in touch with so many homesick South Africans it is heartbreaking sometimes to read their stories.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your question : "What is important to you?" Personally, I love SA to much too leave, and am willing to put up with all the problems. "Hope" is i think what keeps most of us here. Maybe naive, maybe not. Only time will tell.

As said, your post was well written so keep your thoughts and opinions rolling! It helps those who are planning to leave or return with their decisions when they have honest posts like yours to refer to.
