Everything in South Africa is cheap right now. A meal will cost you about a third of what you’d pay for the same thing in the United States. Beachfront property is proportionately cheaper again.

Dr Piet Botha, chairman of the Nationlink estate agency group, says changing

homeowners will hopefully change consumer behaviour and help eradicate
