South Africa is an increbily beautiful country with immense natural resources. Many parts would be delightful for an extended visit. However, I am impressed with the continual increase in violence, and the general unrest in that region, and I would never retire there.
I agree on both counts.

I've been there for work. I also work with expats from the RSA. There is a reason smart people are trying to get out of the country. It is a dangerous place for your body and your money. The government is becoming a Kleptocracy.
