Johannesburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you have any other comments?
We chose to move here to be near family after many years in the States. There is something a little "magical" about South Africa. The charm of the people, the magnificent thunderstorms, the tea gardens and flowers. No place is perfect, but South Africans are very resilient, and are worth getting to know. We are glad to be here. - Sep 2016
This is a great city to live in if you are open to diversity and citylife. Get to know the people and the culture and you will enjoy it here. - Aug 2011
It's a good posting overall. - Jul 2010
South Africa is a fantastic country. South Africans are friendly and warm. They are just not too keen on getting close to people who will not be here forever. You will have so many great travel opportunities. The wine is to die for! I have yet to find a SA wine that I did not like! SA is a very traditional country. People tend to get married early and stay close to family. There are times you think you may be stuck in the 70's or something. Everything here is slow (except the taxis!) and African logic is not logical at all! Joburg is deceiving, as it looks a lot like the western world, but things do not seem to work right--which can be frustrating. Just remember TIA-"this is Africa" and you will be ok! - Oct 2009
