"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Johannesburg is the cost of living. The city is known for its high cost of living, which can be difficult for retirees on a fixed income. Additionally, Johannesburg is a large and bustling city, and the crime rate is relatively high. This can make it difficult for retirees to feel safe and secure in their new home. Finally, Johannesburg is a culturally diverse city, and retirees may find it difficult to adjust to the new culture and customs," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Johannesburg, South Africa.
