Emigration possible?

Question

Can a Brit still make a go of it in S.Africa and family .

Answer 1

With a huge stretch of the imagination - yes but there is a price to pay. You will live in fear of when you and/or your family become the next victims of the violent crime. You will need to live in a self imposed Prison with 12 feet high walls topped with electric/barbed wire,private security with the obligatory panic button,guard dogs and guns.Going out after dark is risky and so is just driving a car. Education is all but down the tubes after having been dumbed down to allow Africans to "pass" and Public Hospitals are an absolute disgrace from every point of view.

Its a short term future as most white South Africans are convinced it will be the next Zimbabwe.

Answer 2

yes Im sure they could.

Answer 3

yes you can...and so many have done before you.

Answer 4

if you are still employable, it would make sense to rather move to (Western) Australia - much higher salaries, more job opportunities, better lifestyle, more freedom. If you are living on a fixed income, and don't mind living trapped at home/ in constant fear, South Africa is an option...

Answer 5

Yes you can but remember your pounds are only going to last that long, so you have to get a job first and then come over.

Answer 6

If you have mega bucks, then yes it's not a problem. If not, stay where you are!

Answer 7

Do you honestly think that is a wise choice

Answer 8

Emigration from South Africa is currently at an all time high so think twice about boarding a ship that so many are jumping from.

I agree find a job and come on a fixed term contract.

Answer 9

If you have a trade/profession they want.  Only do short fixed contracts.  It's not a place to emigrate to.
