Johannesburg - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

Super easy to make friends with the locals, but that friendship is usually superficial. Social circles are still very dominated by race and community, so if you belong to one of the larger communities here (English, Indian, Jewish, Muslim) then expect to be welcomed - but if not, you may need to push a bit harder to get invited to a braai. - Jun 2022
