Re: Saffa Nesties??

  • Hi, I am a Saffa.   I am from Cape Town living in the UK with my CPT DH and son. We also have a nestle living in CPT.

  • I didn't even know Saffa  meant S. African but randomly clicked on this post :)

    I'm not S. African, but will be moving to Cape Town this summer. As pp said there is another person on the board living in Cape Town and I'm pretty sure there were 1 or 2 more people that have chimed in previously that are from S. Africa, but don't live there anymore.

  • I'm here! Stupid nest wasn't let me post earlier.

    As Blushing and Blessed said, I'm living in Cape Town. We've been here for 1.5 years now.

     

    Why do you ask? Are you heading this way?

  • Also been having issues posting for some reason.. but seems to be ok now.  

    I am South African - living in South Africa :)  Was just wondering if there were any others here!!   I did a bunch of traveling for a few years and then came back to Johannesburg about 2 years ago - never thought I would, but the things you do for love :p

    Where are you from originally Potato Pie?

  • Please excuse me - very new to these boards so still getting the hang of replying.. 

    Glad I could teach you something before your move :) Although South African's living IN South Africa don't tend to refer to themselves as Saffa's as much as expat South Africans do...  Where are you moving from Blessed? Cape Town is so amazing - I am very jealous!

    BlushingMama - how did you cope moving from CT to the UK? I can't imagine! It's so different... where in the UK are you though?

  • I am in Bournemouth and I have been here for almost 5 years already, before that I lived in the States for a while. The last time I properly lived in SA was 2005. My DH is also from CT and I think that helps. I do love living here though, I think of it as home. Where all did you go travelling to?

  • I'm from Wisconsin, DH is Italian. Most of our friends here are foreigners as well (there are SO many Italians here...they're everywhere!). CT is great, but the people can be quite closed-off (not you, Blushing!). The friendliest South Africans we've met are usually from Joburg.
