South Africa is often referred to as the “Rainbow Nation”, due to the eclectic mix of African, European and Asian cultures. With 11 official languages, including English, Afrikaans, Zulu and Xhosa, it reflects the country’s rich cultural diversity.
Described as ‘a world in one country’ for its diverse landscapes, South Africa is full of opportunities for adventure and exploration. From the Drakensberg mountain range to the semi-arid Kalahari Desert, the country’s varied terrain offers much to discover. This biodiversity extends to its iconic wildlife, with numerous national parks including the world-famous Kruger National Park.
Since its peaceful transition to democracy in 1994 under Nelson Mandela’s leadership, South Africa has developed into a major African economy. This has created exciting career opportunities, particularly in mining, finance, technology, and tourism sectors. South Africans are known for being outdoor and sports enthusiasts all year round, due to the generally mild winters and warm summers similar to New Zealand. Rugby, cricket, and football are deeply embedded in the national culture.
The lower cost of living is a strong drawcard, especially with the favorable exchange rate between the South African rand (ZAR) and NZ dollar (NZD). This enables many people moving from New Zealand to enjoy a higher standard of living, including access to world-class vineyards, excellent dining, domestic help, and a more relaxed lifestyle among friendly, welcoming people.
