If you have not yet done so, you may wish to join the Penang FB groups (Penang runs on Facebook). They are Penang Expat Women, Partners in Penang and Expats in Penang. I think there are several couples from SA now and feel welcome to join the Monday morning coffee meet-up any time convenient (see separate posting on this forum or on the FB groups for details).

Hello FrancoisT 1,
Welcome to Expat.com 
As you should have noticed, this thread is quite old and has been inactive since 2017.
I advise you to start a new thread on the Penang Forum to ask your question. This will increase your chances of getting feedback.
Cheers,
