Move to S,Africa, is it worth it?
I am a 27 year old who has spent 18 months in Oz and back home in the UK now, I have the chance to emigrate to Cape Town with a firm that has offered be a job in my field as an electrical engineer, I have read a few negatives on these forums, is it worth me considering it as a young bloke for a few years? just feeling the water at the momment.

As an ex-South African now living in England I would not do it. But you are young and in the place you are in your life uou would have an absolute blast and make memories you'll never forget. Don't look back when you're 40 and think - I wonder what if?
Good luck.
Good luck.

Boring

all above = correct answers
Add:
Sub standard public schooling system...really poor, no discipline, teachers have all abdicated their responsibilities and the parents are to blame.
Unfortunately Aus is overrated.
