Will this work?

14 years ago

Hi there, this is my first post so here goes nothing.... I'm a "Angolan South African" with dual citizenship, currently living and working in Luanda and my South African wife and 2 kids live in Port Elizabeth, SA. Our kids are 6 & 3 years old. We're weighing up the option of relocating mom & the kids to Windhoek and I'll continue working and living in Luanda. Currently I fly back home every 6/8 weeks for 2 weeks but I really do miss the family too much, also, with them being in PE, the overall travelling time from Luanda to PE is a full day, sometimes an overnight in JHB. By having them in Windhoek, I hope to fly home weekends or every second weekend, so that would sort out the missing them part. Our concern is schools, from this forum I've read about a few terriibly expensive, terrible schools... Any suggestions, given the age of our kids? Then there's my wife, she's a skin technologist with her own business in SA, will she be able to "easily" setup a new business in WH? Our last resort will be to move the family here, to Luanda, but as we all know, Luanda is not a kid friendly city. Any comments and advise would be great.... Thx, Paulo
