What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Somerset West may find the language barrier challenging, as although English is widely spoken, Afrikaans is the dominant language in the region. They may also struggle with understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions, which can be quite different from their own. The high crime rate in South Africa can be a concern for expats, making personal safety a constant worry. Additionally, the pace of life in Somerset West is slower than in many Western countries, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. The bureaucracy and inefficiency in some public services can also be a challenge for expats. Lastly, racial tensions and economic disparities in the country can also be difficult for expats to navigate and understand," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Somerset West, South Africa.
