STNI - Moral or Legal ?
I have been offered SA STNI. As I want to move to SA this seems like a good idea.
Should the worst happen and we want to move out of SA or get offered a too good to be true job :-) what is our state of play? Can we leave for another area or must we stay?

You don't legally have to stay, they won't revoke your visa. However, let's hope you do decide to stay in SA for two years at least, because the SA immigration people do check from time to time that you are settled here. The more people who take up STNI and then move on to other States, the more likely it is that the SA government will eventually decide to stop utilising the STNI scheme, on the grounds that it is of no benefit to SA.
