South Africa: Cost of living in Joburg...:

O.k someone needs to go back to reading class or school. I read US $6000.00 and not R6000. There is a difference of almost R 40 000 !.With that income , you could get a suitable apartment or what we call here a "security complex town house" DEPENDING on the area where you want to live for about R5000 -R8000 pm. Sandton JHB is expensive and crime there is on the climb as most crime syndicates see that as a prime spot area to stock up on. If you are a person by yourself then your cost of living monthly (groceries) you can get away with R 2000.00 worth of goods p/m if you have medical items like chronic medicine that you need to have a constant supply of you should find out from your "medical aid" if those are covered or not. Having a car( yet again do you want to be flashy or just get b0y) in S.A is the only safe option to get somewhere, because our public transport system Bus/train/taxi is non existent, and you DO NOT want to move around in a local taxi. it is unsafe and disgusting ! For other social things like restaurants/movies going away for holidays, it varies on location and obviously in season times (School holidays) and out of season times. Fuel is on the increase again currently Petrol per liter = R7.92 p/l and electricity is climbing up as well because Eskom (our useless electricity supplier) did not make enough effort to listen to our Previous "white government's" warnings to build more power stations for the nearby future. Our roads are current in a Crap state as they are trying to repair and upgrade all major freeways for the world Cup soccer, but are so far behind on schedule that we as tax payers are again having to pay extra because of the fine being issued. in a nutshell this is a rainbow nation that consist of one color only, baby brown poo. Cape Town on the other hand , bit more expensive, but way more controlled and laid back and pleasant" because we have a political leader that knows what she is doing. My suggestion, If you want to retire in S.A, look at Cape Town. Hope this helps.
