Just forgot to comment on your question on inefficiency - It's very weird, my beloved South Africa.....the South African Reciever of Revenue (Tax) is super efficient but then when you want to do a simple thing like call MTN (a cell phone company) to cancel a contract they put you on hold for 45 minutes and then when you do get to talk to someone they really obvioulsy haven't been trained properly. Let me tell you, it can get highly frustrating. But then the next day you'll get the slickest service that's comparable with a 1st world country. South Africa is super convenient in every way. Just be warned about Home Affairs...hoo boy.....queues delux...unsafe feeling while you are in those queues. Ugh. I am sighing because SA is really like a coin - it has two sides....one being the best and the other being the pitts. The shopping malls are to die for...your wife will loooove Woolworths the clothing store. I miss that the most....aaaah Woolworths....boohoo! Okay enough, enough. I am going on a bit now. GOOD LUCK!!!! With whatever you decide.
