Cost of living

Cost of living in South Africa is relatively cheap compared to most parts of the world. For example, hotels in the Randburg area range from R85-R500 ($12 -$70).

Food, depending on your preference, is as cheap as R20 for breakfast and R50 for lunch and dinner. Of course, there are other top of the range restaurants that offer more exclusive cuisine at a premium.

South Africa is a shopper’s paradise with its large and sprawling shopping malls. That means there are lots and lots of things to get at any budget.
