Are you considering emigration?

[MaisonP]

Already left. Asia thank you very much

 

[The_MAC]

Have EU citizenship, children just obtained theirs, so that is the backup plan.

No plan of leaving anytime soon, but as soon as property ownership is a real threat and we are unable to buy ourselves out of the problems (i.e. Solar for Load-shedding, Borehole for Water-cuts etc.), then we will begin making solid plans.

Biggest challenge is family, especially the folks, they will need more and more help as they age, and relocating at their age becomes a mission

I will be here for the next elections but after that?

Preparing an escape route.

This is a big thing for me. They both have the means to leave, but they have made it clear they will die in SA, regardless of what goes on here.

Other: I can't even if I wanted to.

It's already happening, but they call it rationing.

Its happening in Nelson Mandela Bay

Oh no, for you that's unfortunate

For Visa requirements etc. it may be prudent to rather have UK and EU (instead of Europe)

 

[chuckles_the_cnt]

well, all you lot moving from the failed provinces to the western cape may need to get used to 'drought regulations' / 'water rationing' not much was done around extending the water supply.
we're out of here in a few days from now, i'll leave water in my tanks for the next bloke fwiw

 

[Drifter]

I will go to Canada if I can.

they've lived their lives, have you lived yours or theirs?

 

[Napalm2880]

My problem with emigrating is that you're effectively hitting the reset button on your life. Sure South Africa is circling the drain and is well on it's way to become 'another african country' but it's actually kinda nice here if you don't read news24.

 

[Spizz]

I have UK passport as do my kids, daughter is already in Scotland. Only problem is my wife has a South African passport. But no worries, I can find another wife over there.

Old age care is brutally expensive in 1st world countries. Plus, your kids will most likely be living in your home till they 30 or can financially afford to live with other people in a 30sqm apartment.
Observations that should be taken into account. As a lot of people think about themselves only, and how they will live life on the other side.

 

[Fulcrum29]

The only option I can take under consideration at this time is North America (Canada). I am busy evaluating this as I type. Since Covid, business here hasn't been too great, not to mention other retractions...

I am only surprised by how many IT businesses are turning to solar and other renewables.

 

[Stonemason]

Botswana. Seems like they doing alright over there

If you have young children schools are a problem in Botswana.
