Hi Jason. I am leaving SA because I cant handle the crime, corruption and racism. I have a young family tho, so my priorities might be different to yours? Be aware that you will be taking a risk in terms of safy, esp in JHB, no matter what other members here might post (you can do the research on the online za news sites). We live in an extremely violent society, and chances are if you are affected by crime, it will be of an extremly violent nature.

That being said, if they are offering you a good deal, and you can accept the risks, then maybe it would be a good exp. for you. But please think vry hard if you have family

Good luck

Kevin

My advice – an intro is a good start.

Where you are, your skills etc that way we can offer advice but at this point in time you are just another *new member* here with post No 1 and so no one knows anything about you. What brings you to BE forum?

My advice is giving us some background that way members are in a position to offer advice.

Be interested to know how you got the job, where in Jhb you will be based and what the Rand salary attraction is for you, what do you do, doctor , mechanic, racial preferencing employment advisor – what?
