    I started thinking and looking around the world for the most ideal spot for retirement. Ultimately, I chose CPT, purchased a house and was presently in the process of obtaining a PR for South Africa.. In my opinion, it is without question the most beautiful place in the world... Do realize, like everywhere in the world, there are problems in CPT. Drugs, homelessness, crime, etc, etc.. Nevertheless, in my circumstance South Africa is the best choice.. I hope not to become an expat, but an immigrant to SA.. I want to be part of this nation and spend my last few decades residing there..

      I’m from Cape Town and yes although beautiful in many aspects, I personally love living in Rio de Janeiro more. Yes, Rio has its ills (similar to CT and most other cities around the world) but until you’ve visited Rio, only then could you possibly understand why I say what I said. I’ve visited Rio many times for this very reason and even lived there for a year. If I could go back tomorrow, I would be there yesterday. Despite all this, my family and friends refer to me as Cape Town’s biggest ambassador- which sounds like an oxymoron now, given my post 😂

    Many whites have left because of the government's brutal BEEE - black empowerment policies and the overall decline of everything. Crime is high, but if you are vigilant and avoid certain areas, it's actually safer than many other places. Cape Town is just stunning, but there are even more beautiful places than gorgeous Cape Town. The people are the best though. Non radical South Africans are just the loveliest people.

But thanks to this dude, and all the people going ohhhh come to Cape Town, we will soon sit together on the same heap of hot trash. The expansion and development is next level and infrastructure cant cope.

The guy that owns the junk shop on the corner of jansens and blaauwberg road got shot when locking up 2 months ago. A lady got stabbed 22 times on Gie road for her phone at peak time.

I dont recognize where i am anymore. I even hace a zulu working for me now. I never even met a zulu until then. My other 3 guys are zimbabwean. Im not complaining, just telling you my observation on how cape town has changed. Up until about ten years ago i had never even met anyone from durban. I always imagined that was because durban was too nice. Now a lot of my customers are indians and other durbanites.

    Yeah CT is ok, but it is also on the slide just like the rest of the country. The rate of decay is just much more gradual. Getting back to living here: I can handle the rain in winter, but the summers that are so dry is a problem. It is lovely to see the green lawns in winter, three months into summer and the lawns are all suffering. Water tariffs skyrocketed when we had the day zero scare a couple of years back and was never normalized again. So watering the garden is a no no for the working class. Fitting JoJo tanks is not an option, as it never gets enough water to make it worthwhile in summer. Although I did and now they are just white elephants. Traffic is and always will be a problem. Anybody else notice that stopping @ stop signs and the use of indicators is now optional, especially in residential areas.

    Nah man, Cape Town is not what it's made out to be! The Town we live in, in the deep south is filthy dirty, the beach is just awful! Our neighbourhood watch advises everyone to invest in an alarm system and have security installed. It feels like the street people/drug addicts run this town, because the DA seems to have lost interest. Loads of potholes. Bloody expensive electricity. The malls are tiny. You've got to travel far on congested roads if you want to shop at Macro or need spares..... So stop talking 💩 and see the place for what it is. I'm going to start travelling further along the coast in all directions to see if it gets better than where we are. This is also the cruelest province I've lived in, with respect to our beautiful wildlife and domestic pets. People who are thinking of semigrating, should try and stay here for at least 3 to 6 months before making a permanent move.

    • @TwentythreeRGT

      What area do you stay in cause that is not the Cape Town I Know. Electricity cost is caused by the national government and Eskom not Cape Town. If you have to travel far to shop you live in the wrong area, I can walk to all those stores. As far as wildlife goes people in Cape Town respect wildlife and pets much more than anywhere else in the country from what I have seen? I have lived in the other towns and I know the difference. Just for information Cape Town was recently voted as the second best city in the world behind New York. Everyone I know who has moved here is happy and does not regret their move.
