Will I be able to find a job in South Africa?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in South Africa, they reponded...
"The main industries are extremely diverse from mining to banking as well as the fact that Joburg is probably the capital of southern Africa which brings in all the embassies, the UN, etc. I'm not sure how difficult it would be for a person trying to move here without a job. Because of affirmative action and Black Empowerment, finding a job (unless you are previously disadvantaged in this country) is probably tricky," said another expat in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"Foreigners in South Africa often work in a variety of industries, including hospitality, tourism, manufacturing, and IT. They may also work as English teachers, translators, or in other professional services. Additionally, many foreigners find employment in the agricultural sector, either as farm workers or in agricultural-related businesses," wrote a member who made the move to South Africa.
