The ex-pat community in Joburg isn't that big for likemindeds. Expect to make friends with locals, or within the larger ex-pat communities from Brazil, India and China. - Jun 2022
Morale is generally good. Biggest complaint is that Joburg isn't a walking city. You have to drive everywhere. Sort of like Houston, TX. - Oct 2019
Large - Joburg has a ton of expats for business, international development, diplomats, etc. Morale is typically good, as it's a great place to live. - Apr 2017
