Hi Ian. Yes, I'm a Brit that was brought up (mostly) in the R.S.A. Before we returned to the U.K. Married an Aussie girl & live here now. In many ways it feels like SA, lifestyle wise, where we live. Beaches, braais, camping, outdoors & sports.
Not been back yet myself, but family who have report it's best to pretend it's your first trip due to the MASSIVE changes since 1986.
