I can only go by my experience as a young single bloke in Perth who managed to find plenty of female company which was greatbut no soul in the place...much prefer Kwa Zulu Natal, Empangeni and the wonderful beaches up the east coast
You can buy my house in Mtunzini then. It's just about to go on the market.

i know it is to dangerous to live in KZN but what a wonderfull part of the world miles of untouched beaches and fishing for yellowfin tunny and cuda.
fishing in Phobane Lake you do realise that Oz can never ever touch that part of the world, I played football for Empangeni against Eshowe not long ago

It is a beautiful place but it is located in a troubled land and you can't live on the beach. I would never raise a family there. Perth offers me the income, lifestyle, weather, opportunities and safety that Zululand never, ever will. As for the UK, it's a great place but it will never be home for me. All the logistics of life are just not there.

I've been here just over 2 years and love it. I think it's one of the best places in the world to live.

We're all different and all like different things in life so each to their own.

I think Empangeni is a dump.
