reviving this thread, cos yesterday I got asked by my boss if I'd consider moving to Capetown for 12 months. I've been there for work 10 times already, but the longest stay so far has been 6 weeks, and half that was holidays. Back again for 2 weeks at the end of august.
The biggest if on any move is my wife, and how she'd fit in there. there's not a lot of chinese culture in capetown, although she's largely aussie as well.
Can any locals give a decent idea on how women see the crime levels there? being 6ft and male, i probably don't feel as intimidated as a 5ft female would in most places.
and to confuse things further, the director of the company that owns this one asked me today to go to america instead, but that doesn't appeal much. 90% of the work in SA is in CT, the US clients are spread everywhere, so I'd be on the road too much. |
Lived there for the first 19 years of my life, and spent the last 3 years there heavily into the clubbing scene.
Surprisingly, nothing bad ever happened to me.
Simply put, don't walk around solo at night, keep your car doors locked at all times, and stay away from the dodgy areas.
Should be fine
