I will be moving with my Family to S.A. in the next few months - to be based in J'burg and would also love to meet other Canadians (I'm not a 'real' Canadian (yet) - but have lived in Canada since 2000 (Ontario - Kingston Area) - I'm a Brit by birth (but don't hold that against me!))

I'm from Vancouver and have been living in Portugal, but I'm really interested to know about foreigners living in South Africa. What is it like, politically and socially? Please fill me in. It's a whole different world, it seems. Thx. Emily

Emily,
We've lived in South Africa (Jo'burg) for about a year now - it's a fascinating place with fantastic weather, lots of cultural things, and lots of outdoor opportunities.
Policically it's very stable, crime is a big issue (but is variable around the country), with Johannesburg being the worst place.
It has a great diversity of people, cultures, climate, etc.
