Moeshen, I dont know wether you have children yet or not, I lived there for 54 years and it is a beautiful place great scenery, weather, Friendly people etc.
Most of the friends who have children who are still there are leaving as soon they can sell their Houses,(about a 1/3 of all House sales were due to Immigration according to the Banks)
I have a 9 year old daughter and if I won the Euro Lottery and could live anywhere I wanted with the same security as the President of SA, the last place I would take her is SA.
The Risks are just too great, the fear, when I lived there and now go back for Holidays is just too great, Its no use having a great lifestyle when you cant go out anymore.
The only people I know who are defending SA's crime rate and who are still in SA , either cant get out or are still young enough to think it wont happen to me.
It may not, ever, but if it does, its a biggie.
