"South Africa is an absolutely beautiful place with so much to offer if you're a tourist. As a South African citizen like myself I find living in Cape Town a pure dream. Foreigners coming into South Africa will find life here very different especially in terms of safety. However, Cape Town is a relatively safe place, sadly, bad things do happen to innocent people which unfortunately is a reality. Just avoid certain bad areas and dark alleys and you will be fine.

If you have already secured a job here the next thing for you to do is find an appartment which sadly is not cheap even to rent due to the large influx of tourists buying property. Living in Cape Town is not cheap and you will find transport costs for taxi cabs are extremely high so it would be advisable to get a car of your own. Other than that train and bus services are available at low low costs and it's usually easy to get into the city centre from most parts of Cape Town. South Africa has fantastic high speed internet access services such as Vodacom's 3G HSDPA which is mobile broadband. I have been to the United States and China and I must say South Africa beats both those countries when it comes to technology. Anyway... I hope this little bit of information helps you. Have a pleasant trip to South Africa."
