Information about Johannesburg

16 years ago

Hi all,

I am currently thinking about applying for a job in Johannesburg. On that side I see a perfect match, but I am wondering if Joburg is a location where I would want to live with my family, with 3 young kids (5/3/1).

So I am looking for people who can help me answer a few questions.

1) I know that Joburg in general is not the safest place on earth, but are there area's where that is less of an issue? When I look at houses, I see some with walls/fences and some do not have these. Are these located in larger communities, with a wall around the community?
2) What part of the city would be te best place to find a nice and save location?
3) Can my kids play freely outside on their bikes or whatever?
4) At what age do childeren attend school?
5) What do people generally do after work, weekend? Stay at home or go out?
6) What is the wheater really like?
7) Any information you feel is valuable for making the decision to move from the Netherlands to Joburg.

Thanks,

Danny
