South Africa is a country I have ALWAYS wanted to visit and I have several friends I have met in my travels in your city. They all feel the same as you.
A deep love for Cape Town and Africa but discouraged by the corruption. My friends that left the Cape for London and other places mostly returned. The money was good, but home will always be home. I tend to think staying while hard is always the wiser choice. I live in the US and am very unhappy with our current president. I have residence by marriage to an Australian, so could easily leave my country and it’s troubles. But leaving won’t help my home become the place I wish it to be. Depending on where you are in your life leaving for a time could be beneficial. Sometimes coming up for air brings new perspective and fresh determination. But you obviously love your home. That love will bring the change you hope to see. ☺️
