Hi !

Pls help me with some queries.

As My husband moving to Joburg for 2 years in an assignment (IT comp). I m a teacher with senior school , Do I hold any prospects of getting a job there?
Comp is providing house and car . We have two dependent kids (4 and 10 yrs) old.
Is it a good idea of moving there keeping in mind cost of living including education
Can u suggest any good schools out there.

Thanks

Hi

I would suggest that you read the new immmigration act thoroughly and you can take it from there. Feel free to ask question from South African embassy there should you need someclarities. There are a lot o good schools here. Two years is short though for making a decion to relocate and consideering that it might take a while for you to find a job and its not guaranteed.

I wish you good luck.

Kind David school, Saheti, Saint - Marie (in Waverly), Reddam.
also the school must be in safe area with good security, Security is must in JHB !
crime is very serious there and unfortunately I had a very bad experience regarding the high level of crime in Johannesburg.
I can recommend three well known good security companies:
Baron, Magen Security, Pidilty
