A friend of mine goes every year, his wife has family down there. His opinion is yes, a great place to visit but he'd never move there permanently.

There are a lot of Brits who told me they’d never return to the UK.

I’m doing a 3 month secondment starting in 10 days not sure the steaks & red wine is going to be good for the heart.

A great place to visit but very dangerous. 25,000 murders last year from a population of 60,000,000.

Poll: Sholud Wales rollout vaccination at full speed.

Hope you enjoy

Great country but, be careful where you go at night even by car, take time to learn about risky neighbourhoods in cities from the locals. My wife lost a friend in a drive by shooting in the early hours in Joberg, took a route home through a notorious neighbourhood by mistake.

Indeed staying in Joberg & without doubt you don’t go out walking at night.

Anyway back home for a week.

We went 4 years ago we hired a car and did the garden route drove from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and then back but more in land. A beautiful country to live and visit if you have money or a half tidy job we stopped at Mossel Bay, Storms River, Platternburg Bay and did a safari. Unfortunately came across some very old school racists and it does have a certain feel about it that something could kick off at anytime.

Ate a lot of ostrich steaks out there very nice and lean no fat. Cape Town is surprisingly not as big as you think, table mountain is well worth the visit but get up there early doors before the tourists,went to visit Roben Island but missed out on the bad weather but been told since its not that much, the rugby museum is a good visit well put together and interesting,the first night we stayed there we went into town and walked back to our digs and told the owner he went mad with us and said after dark you walk nowhere only Uber. You do notice that all the bars, restaurants...etc are full of white people and black people serving. As a country they are multi culturally years behind us

Thanks for that, hopefully get to see a bit of the country but work schedule is pretty hectic

Uber everywhere last time although hire car when I’m out there next.

I’m based on Johannesburg but we have warehouses in Bloemfontein Durban & Cape Town which I have to visit.

Hoping when I go to Cape Town I have the weekend off so I can see a bit of it.
