Sometimes we go for months, depending on the region without outages which are announced well in advance. Besides, fibre lines and network towers stay on during those times.

@nikolizky, well said. If you see the poverty levels here in Britain it will shock you to the core. The quality of housing in this country is awful. Yet brutain us touted as very wealthy and so the world thinks everyone here is stinking rich. Even at that the majority of billionaires in Britain are of foreign origin. Yet when they go to Africa, they will zoom in on the poor areas and say all Africans are starving and poverty stricken.

A lot of African Americans have been moving to SA lately and in all honesty we as South Africans want them here. Its a bit sad how neglected their talents are but a lot have noticed that they could be living a fantastic life at half the price of the American lifestyle they currently live. But its highly advisable that if you move here, you must either work for yourself or for an American company and you must know people BEFORE you even come here.

If you were to come to Durban (balito,umhlanga, musgrave, glenwood or morningside), you would probably get a40% boost on your affordability. 600 to 800 usd a month would get you a decent upper class apartment or house. But 5000 usd does give you a very comfortable life in SA. Even in Capetown.
