Hello Nairalanders, I hope we are enjoying the festive season and also keeping the social distance and protecting ourselves from this COVID-19 Pandemic, I pray we will all scape through.

To put out things we maybe doing wrong in terms of business (registering and opening company) housing (buying or renting) and schooling, and lastly 4. For those that want to transit to another countries and/or permanent residence here in South Africa. If you need assistance in the above listed then let converge, rise and shine in brotherhood of trust, so help us God! Thanks � 5 Likes |

things are cost around here oo, also dollar changing eat all money no were to change direct naira to rand |
Re: Surviving In South Africa by Olamilec(m): 2:02pm On Dec 31, 2020 |
pufframmy: You’re right, exchanging Rand to Naira or vise versa is through man know man, not formal which can be formalised and secured for our good at least we are all here to improve our lives. |

Thank you @olamilec for creating this thread. Please I need key tips/information on how to buy a house in SA, and the type of accomodation type to buy and the common conditions and challenges associated with it And the best province to get the property as a Nigerian for better ROI.? Apart from Cape town, which other place or places is best to raise children? |
Re: Surviving In South Africa by Olamilec(m): 5:10am On Jan 02, 2021 |
akoredebaba1: Let me start from here that, if you don’t have enough money to survive in SA don’t come or agreed to waste part of your years in exchange for it, (understanding from experience) cause those people that promise you heaven and earth, you don’t know their status, and those that have legal docs don’t want you to come put sand sands for their garri, but that doesn’t mean their some that wouldn’t help. That been said, let us talk about how you can survive here without bordering people which is why I said: “have enough money”. I can’t talk about those that are just seeking for visas, but rather those that have already gotten their visas and also we that are here. Do you know that our brothers and sisters are still acting or want to follow the means to survive in Nigeria which doesn’t have too much application here because getting stability here takes common sense, determination and discipline.

Greatdand007: I think those that have relocation plans or dont have visas yet should refer to this thread for their questions https://www.nairaland.com/944102/general-south-africa-visa-enquiries . A lot of their enquiries have definitely been discussed there already. |

Re: Surviving In South Africa by Olamilec(m): 11:25am On Jan 02, 2021 |
Olamilec: Okay, am back! Though I don’t know how I will tackle these questions in a layman’s language as possible, but I promised to try my best though my best may not be enough for some people, sorry am not perfect just trying to help. Please I need key tips/information on how to buy a house in SA, and the type of accomodation type to buy and the common conditions and challenges associated with it Buying a house in South Africa take understanding of what type of house and/or apartment will be okay for you. Type House /Apartment House: Two/Three House in a Nigeria type compound fenced alone or in a complex with security Apartment: One/Two Bedrooms in a security complex. Base on my understanding on research: both house/apartment are good investments but apartments give more ROI cause of the security and other services included to ease stress, and our people and other look for apartments more, though am not saying people don’t rent houses. Assuming you’re a single person or married without kids and have money to buy a house/apartment - it’s better to stay in a bachelor of around R3000 while your house/apartment will be rented out at around R4500 - R7000 depending on the area, whereby you will have savings on your investment and why also saving through your day to day work / hustle. Then if you’re big man / madam *smile* just buy a house outrightly and enjoy your life LOL (Life is good when you’re in money) Note: Buying a house can give you a Permanent Resident if you know your way. And the best province to get the property as a Nigerian for better ROI.? I can only base my assumption on the province am more familiar and used to, rather than want to cover all provinces which is not in my capacity. Buying apartments in a security complex is viable and yield more on ROI cause those are the most sort after type of apartment in high demands, also for people that knows people in high places or are moneyed can buy luxuries apartments / duplexes which can be resale after finalised documentation. Apart from Cape town, which other place or places is best to raise children? In my own perspective, this will depend on your own financial capacity, and the area(s) / province(s) that’s best comfortable for you, which I preferred raising my children in Gauteng or KZN based on the diversification of cultural heritages, education and also high concentrations of our people. 1 Like 1 Share |

Thank you @olamilec for taking time explain in a clear manner. Please is the rental quotes on monthly or yearly basis? I am also interested in knowing how to secure the PR through the acquisition of a property. Thanks once again. Happy New Year |
Re: Surviving In South Africa by naposium(m): 5:23pm On Jan 02, 2021 |
Nice thread... I love it..... This is my best and candid advice to people coming to SA pls kindly make sure you come in with a permit.... At least study permit is still more easier and easier to change to other status of permit......and If you need admission letter I do help with that from a reputable college here. 3 Likes |
