Born and bred Gautenger. Lived in Vanderbijlpark for most of my life with the exception of 5 years in Standerton Mpumalanga. Married a European so now living in Den Haag, Holland. But guess what? We'll be back to South Africa after retirement and planning to stay in Marloth Park.

Hello there, I am a South African, born in Cape Town, lived in Jhb my whole life, I am married to a Brit, we are planning to become permanent residents of the Kruger (when pension time comes along).

Born and bred SA but my hubby and I are now Irish. :. Being Irish makes travelling much easier, but in my heart I will always be a Saffie!!

Why is travelling easier when Irish, Busybee?

Because you don't need a visa to travel anywhere in Europe and to the USA. With a SA passport we can't travel to anywhere except SA without applying for a visa. It was a real pain in the butt! Before July 2009 we could travel to the UK, but SA passport holders even need a visa to go there now.

Plenty of nationalities here ...
lots of Proud Saffies
I am English

Ironic really considering that South Africa was, in many ways, the pioneer of democracy and camaraderie in Africa. Seems like the place to be is in Ireland. Except, of course, for Table Mountain, Kruger, Kgalagadi, the Garden Route, the Cape, and - I could on for ages here.
