Why people are leaving South Africa

Reasons of leaving SA

In essence, one question drives most of our clients to leave SA.

How can we secure our future?

Behind this one question lie many issues, such as the high unemployment rate, high crime rate, failing education system, failing electrical system, high inflation, weakening Rand, mandatory retirement ages, and BEE.

For skilled, hard-working South Africans, New Zealand offers the best solution around because it gives you access to a great education, excellent career opportunities, a safe and stable environment, and financial security.

As one client said, “In South Africa, the problems were all too big and out of my control; in New Zealand, I can solve all my problems.”

Leaving your home country is a difficult thing to do – it is ranked as one of the three most stressful things you can do. But you have to ask yourself whether you are prepared for the continued stress of living in a country where:

  • Children aren’t safe to play outside or go to a mall alone 
  • You’re not sure if you’ll have a job tomorrow
  • Crime and corruption go unpunished
  • Infrastructure is not what it should be in many provinces
  • Universities are known for riots and racism instead of the level of education it offers

If you are not sure whether you are eligible to emigrate to a country like New Zealand, ranked the 2nd safest country to live in, complete our 10-question assessment and we will get in touch to discuss your options.

What else makes New Zealand great? The country values work-life balance, making it one of the best countries to raise kids; accessible health and medical care; world-class education, work opportunities galore, and most of all – peace of mind.

If that sounds good to you, schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with one of our immigration consultants to discuss your options.
