I was born in jo'burg and moved to India when i was 4.I still hold a south african passport. I am now planning to move back to SA and settle down in cape town. I have been there several times (including during the world cup ) and have enjoyed the place alot.

I plan to start a fashion clothing/fabric business as i have a lot of experience in that field.

My biggest concern (like many other people) is safety.
I know that it is not as crazy as people make it out to be. Ive never had any bad experiences during my previous visits.

what are the safest places to live, near the beach.?
I have been looking at houses/apartments in camps bay which i plan to go see during my next visit.Is it safe?
what are the safest areas to work?

I would appreciate any advise.

Thank you
RAVB

Hi RAVB, just re-visiting the post... Did you move to SA? I am here now and re-reading your reply I am curious to see how you are getting on...

Please let me know and good luck with your choices. I absolutely love Gordon's Bay, but can't comment on where you want to live as have been in UK for 9 years and am from the Southern Suburbs in Cape Town and returning there.

So exciting!!!!

Hi, Realize my reply comes very late!! We are in SA now and I came on a family visa (life partner visa) I am actually not English but Icelandic!

The application is still in a process but I only applied after having stayed here on a visitors visa for 2 months.

Are you guys here now? Would love to hear all about it!

We are in Somerset West, just waiting for summer now!

Hi

I am currently in Cape Town and would like to meet with as many expats as possible. Any contacts would be appreciated.
