Quality of Life

South Africa, a country renowned for its rich diversity, is home to people of African, Indian, Asian, European and Malay origin. This cultural diversity combined with its natural splendour, wildlife, as well as the world’s richest floral kingdom within its boundaries, is reason for it being termed the "rainbow nation”.

With a coastline of 2 954 km, offering some of the most beautiful and safe beaches in the world, the subtropical climate and the cost of living being amongst the lowest in the world, the South African lifestyle is recognised as world-class.

Foreign visitors and residents can purchase fully serviced properties at a significant discount compared to similar properties in the western world. Low property cost combined with low cost for first world health care, access to primary, secondary and tertiary education, sporting and recreation facilities, and availability of all the modern conveniences and luxuries, ensure that the South African lifestyle is recognised as world-class.
