MANY REASONS TO INVEST IN SOUTH AFRICA
1. DIVERSITY
Known as the “Rainbow Nation”, SA is one of the most
diverse, cosmopolitan countries in the world, a melting
pot with a high level of democracy and tolerance for
different Constitutions in the world, and our history and
background predisposes us to accept and embrace
people of different cultures not only from the rest of
Africa but from the rest of the world.
2. CLIMATE
SA is known to have one of the most “liveable” climates
in the world, with plenty of sunshine and fresh air. The
southwest corner, including the city of Cape Town, has
a Mediterranean climate with long warm and dry
summers and rain during its mild winters. The interior
of the country, including the cities of Johannesburg
and Pretoria, generally enjoys warm sunny days and
cool nights, with blue skies even in winter and rainfall
occurring after hot summer afternoons. The east coast,
including the city of Durban, is more sub-tropical and a
favourite holiday destination because of its warm high
summer in December and January. making it attractive to
many investors who buy holiday homes in SA to escape
the northern winters.
3. LIFESTYLE
Home-owners in SA enjoy a lifestyle almost unparalleled
in the rest of the world, at a much lower cost. In general
South Africans are fun-loving, relaxed and very hospitable
neighbours, and the country also offers a huge range
of both indoor and outdoor activities to enjoy. Many
of our top lifestyle estates have their own golf courses
and equestrian centres, for example, as well as sports
centres with tennis, squash and swimming facilties, and
wellness spas offering world-class beauty and health
treatments. Designer shopping, fabulous cuisine, sailing,
watersports and wildlife safaris are also all part of the
luxury lifestyle in SA, which boasts three of the richest
cities in Africa, and around 40 000 citizens who are dollar
millionaires.
