My boyfriend is South African and after 3 years together in London we are considering moving to SA, either JHB (where he is from) or CT (as we consider this may be an easier place for me to live).

I work in the learning and development (training) field in the UK and am keen to remain in this area, but searches on the web are not promising re: the opportunities in this field in SA. I have worked to date in the training departments of large firms rather than as a freelance trainer or for a training company.

Can anyone please advise to what extent this a well-developed profession in SA? And if possible give an indictation of what the opportunities for employment might be - either in CT or in JHB?

Many thanks.

Considering the economy of South Africa is so vibrant, and considering that Training and Development are high on most company's agenda's, you should find a position. My initial approach would be via the websites of South Africa's top newspapers. They are all found at: www.iol.co.za , from where you find many links to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban newspapers, plus many more.
Another approach would be via Google. Type in your search terms, follow the links.
I hope this helps. As a matter of interest I have lived in Cape Town for the last 30 years, one of the worlds' most beautiful cities! Now, in England I cannot wait to get back. I am in Hospitality and Tourism, and I am also looking for a job there.
Feel free to write to me with questions at:udann@hotmail.com
