Thanks for being so helpful.

Hi There,

I was there one year back, and that time for single bedroom flat my company was paying 7K and for Doble bed room Flat they were paying around 14K-16K... But that was in Sandton.. and Sadton is expensive....

But inother areas you can get places quite cheap.. Do one thing check out property for rent on property24.co.za , you will get idea of rates there.

Hope this information help!!

Cheers
Anu

Hi Anu,

Yes, you have been most helpful. I will start to look around for the nice place to stay in. Not sure if the living expense is high in SA? How much is breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Eating out can be very expensive in SA, i'll say it's good to have breakfast and dinner at home and if possible u can take lunch box...

Most of teh company has good canteen facility. Like mine was having excellent canteen....

So breakfast was coming around 10-15 Rands and Lunch was cominh around 25-30 Rands.

I know mostly abt Indian(1 nice meal around 100 Rands) restourants and MacDonalds( 1 combo was of 29 Rands ) and Debonairs( Not sure but i guess some where around 50 Rands )

But u get different kind of food... Indian, chinese, Portuguess, Italian, labonese etc etc.. if u get good company there.. definately u gonna enjoy ur stay...

hope this helps

Cheers
Anu

S.A is very cheap in my opinion. There's no need to look for a tiny place to live in , as 3 bedroom townhouses with a garden etc are very affordable to rent.

As far as eating out goes , I still think S.A is very cheap in this area. For a nice meal at a good restuarant you needn't pay much more than 70-100 rand per head. Of course that's mid range and cheaper and more luxurious options are all there for you too. Food from the supermarket although recently inflated like anywhere else is still very cheap compared to just about anywhere non third world. South Africa exists in the twilight between first and third worlds , so variety of experience is exceptional.

Hey..thanks for much for the information, it is really helpful.

I am set to reach Johannesburg in mid October and I am looking forward so much.

Just wondering if there are any international school for children which requires volleyball coach?
