"The cost of living in South Africa varies greatly depending on the location. Generally, the cost of living is lower than in many other countries, but there are some areas that have a higher cost of living than the rest of the country. For example, cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban tend to have higher costs of living than other parts of the country. The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in South Africa is typically around $500 USD per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment is around $700 USD per month.
