R14.94 to the dollar - getting close to breaking the psychological R15/dollar barrier.

If it weren't for Brexit, it'd be at ~R23 right now.

One way to look at it is that if you under 45, moving abroad becomes a trivial choice.

Why 45?

Why 45?

Imaginary old person age?

Why 45?

Think and then do some net reading. But think first

Imaginary old person age?

No. Persons after 45 are too close to 60. Is reality.

Not every 45yr old is ok with a reboot in life which emigration is. I know a few leaving and they ok with it.. but I also know a few who won’t because they feel too old. Your mileage various.

2ndly a lot of countries start counting age against you from 40.. at 45 it becomes harder. You also need a clean bill of health, fit, Discovery like checks to be ok etc. just something to keep in mind.

I dunno the whole ANc issues with SARB has me thinking my prediction of a political shake up end of year is likely.
