At the same time, encouragingly positive information about SA is also floating in the air!
So what could be a general verdict about life in SA, is really like living in Europe? Or is it just as spending your life in developing country like Pakistan or India etc?
Reply keenly awaited

Well now this is a difficult one as Capetown is very different from the other places..... no two are alike. When people talk bad about South Africa they are refering to Johannesburg (where I lived for 25 years) it is crime ridden... but then you go to Cape town which does have a fair amount of crime but is still pleasant to live in so obviously people who come from Capetown will always have good words to say. I have noticed this about people who comment on crime,..... all depends where they are from.
