Pros and cons of living in Johannesburg, South Africa from an Indian expat's perspective.

[@MY2NDM3]

Your info is spot on. Violent crime (Home break-ins, car jacking, shootings etc,.) and corruption are big issues in SA. There are other KZbinrs who put out content asking people to come visit SA and to relocate as well. They show you all the beautiful places around Joberg, Pretoria and other parts of SA (Sandton City, Fourways, Mall of Africa and expensive gated communities like on a golf course etc.,) but none of them will they mention the violent crime that takes place on a daily basis. Apart from the crime & corruption, SA has great weather, eating places are everywhere, beautiful malls and casino's and the road system is great.

[@NeetikaNakul]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback.

[@sandilebm78g52]

Tell me one country that doesn’t have crime. This is by far the most ignorant comment I’ve ever seen. It’s true that there is crime in SA but it is not at the scale and some Europeans describe it, there are places in SA that are just safe and there are places that require vigilance.

[@johnblackmen8214]

Notice that he is 95 percent of who is saying south africa is dangerous he should talk about how violent downtown glasgow or Russia.

Thank you! That's the idea. When we moved to South Africa we didn't know much about this beautiful country. We hope with these videos we can share our experience and people can know what to expect before they arrive.

Hi I would like to know appart from Sandton and Rosebank what are other safe neighborhood's in Joburg? Best regards

[@NeetikaNakul]

Hello, Joburg has crime everywhere. Please don't think that Sandton and Rosebank are safe havens. Expats generally stay in secured complexes. There are several nice areas like Bryanston, fourways, sunninghill, parktown, hydepark, dainfern, waterfall and many many more. It really depends where you will be working or studying etc. Hope this helps.

[@mka1308]

Can I get your mail id to connect you for some more queries

[@NeetikaNakul]

@@truptiakolkar716 hi, we haven't lived in CT but visited a few times. It is a beautiful place. All the very best with your move. Crime is a factor in South Africa. One has to be alert, live in the right areas and do everything possible from one's side. After that I believe timing and luck. I hope you have a good time.

[@NeetikaNakul]

The IT industry in SA is thriving. There are a lot of Indian IT, global and South African companies here that are doing great work. Many Indians come here with large IT companies and now have opened their own IT startups too.

[@NeetikaNakul]

Covid is same like most other places in the world. Crime is a reality in SA. Many people still relocate, Travel etc.

Most expats choose to stay in guarded complexes.

How is situation now in Johannesburg especially after the news on Indians there

[@saptharishimanikandan6921]

Hi, I am planning to move into Johannesburg from Dubai with a 9 month old kid. My wife is skeptical on the safety aspects in Johannesburg, especially my job nature will be traveling for Business purposes. Recently we read a news there were riots and vandalizing in Johannesburg and some reports say Indian community got affected as well. Can you please advise on this please.

[@NeetikaNakul]

Dubai and Johannesburg are very different cities. Safety aspect is an issue in South Africa as we have spoken in the video but there is no specific threat to Indians in Johannesburg.

[@saptharishimanikandan6921]

@@NeetikaNakul Thanks a lot for your reply. Your video was excellent for someone to know about living in South Africa. Could you suggest some safe neighborhoods near Sandton. Thank you

[@NeetikaNakul]

@@saptharishimanikandan6921 there are several good neighborhoods around Sandton. Too many... it also depends on that particular complex' security and facilities.

[@sunilsaldhi]

Are Schools good, are they English school.... is that education at Par with global standard

It depends on the area. There are some great schools in public sector as well as in private sector. They have IB and international curriculums too. Hope that helps.

Yes, schools are in English.

[@meghashekhar23]

Mam when is the best season to visit SA.

[@NeetikaNakul]

Every season has its beauty here, depends on what you want to do. December is usually packed with tourists. Would not recommend anybody travelling to Kruger to go in summer as it can be uncomfortably hot there.

[@kvirat]

It looks like you are targeting this videos to Indian visitors......as you have English & Hindi mix presentation.......

[@NeetikaNakul]

Bilkul correct. We want to make Indians more aware about South Africa.
