Johannesburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Yes. - Aug 2023
Great for families, as soon as you can get past the security concerns. Kids here grow up with access to all kinds of things we wouldn't be able to afford back home. Would also be good for couples, there's lots of romantic stuff to do. I wouldn't want to be single and dating here, there are too many risks! Or maybe I'm just old. - Jun 2022
For singles, yes - dating in Joburg would be like dating in NYC. I think all the major social media dating platforms are used here. For couples, super great: from great restaurants to in-country travel (think wineries, etc) to incredible wildlife/wilderness experiences, adventurous couples will have a blast. For families, same as for couples. Kids love safari (or so I hear). One downside is that the security situation limits what older teens can do in ways that they sometimes find frustrating. - Oct 2019
Good for everyone - the social scene is large and varied, and there is a lot to do here. - Apr 2017
Wonderful for families. The black Africans, in particular, love children. Not uncommon at all to have a black man truly smile at your baby. - Sep 2016

Good for all. There is lots to do and the travel opportunities are fantastic! Teens find it difficult, due to not having the freedom to go out on their own. Single women seem to have it a bit hard, as SA men are not very open to dating foreigners. - Oct 2009
