      Born and bred South African – my generation stays on whatever the future holds.. Yes, we are fortunate to have beautiful natural surroundings, also 70 murders per day.
      No matter how much I miss my children living overseas, I will never encourage them to return home – for obvious reasons.

      I’ve been living in Tbilisi, Georgia for the past 10 years. It’s an amazing country with great potential, fantastic climate and nice people. Better option in terms of affordability and safety than most “Western European” countries.

      Western countries losing family and moral values and for some of them being taken over by people from the Middle East with a fierce loyalty to their religion should make people wonder if the massive social changes are worth going through.

      I would also move back to SA if I lived in the UK or Germany. Central Europe is not the way to go. The Mediterranean is much better and safer for us South Africans. Also, you're safer here from a possible WW3 than you will ever be in South Africa with the violent crime.

      I came to the Uk when I was 21 in 97. I’m planning to go back to retire in 5 to 7 years. I’ll keep my assets tied up in international stocks and crypto. Thank you for your video. I’m now living in Wales. Best place I’ve lived in the Uk

      Where are the statistics for these claims? I would never return to live in South Africa. Where I live, crime is almost non existent and everything works.

      I was born in SA. My family have been there for around 300 years. My wife was was born in Europe but lived most of her life in SA. We left SA 20 years ago. We both still miss the country and can get very homesick. However, I can't say that we ever regretted leaving. Our life is elsewhere now and we have no plans to return
