International Finance & Accountancy Jobs in South Africa
Diversity is a key feature of South Africa, where 11 languages are recognised as official, the community leaders include rabbis, chieftains, rugby players and returned exiles, traditional healers ply their trade around the corner from stockbrokers and housing ranges from mud huts to palatial homes with swimming pools. Africa is the world’s second largest continent, includes 53 different countries, all with their own unique and diverse culture.
The diversity of counties, lifestyles and careers on offer in Africa is unrivalled. In the North is Morocco and to the east lies Kenya, with Zimbabwe home to the stunning Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. A unique blend of African, Arabian and European influences, South Africa holds stunning surroundings in a developing market providing exceptional career and life opportunities.
Very much Africa's superpower, South Africa has the continent's biggest economy, with strong financial and manufacturing sectors. It is a leading exporter of minerals, and tourism is a key source of foreign exchange. Its GDP is nearly four times that of Egypt, its nearest competitor on the continent and it has an abundant supply of resources with well-developed financial, legal, communications, energy and transportation sectors.
South Africa's climate and energy attract many would-be residents and blessed with breathtaking scenery from safaris to beautiful beaches and elegant vine yards, many consider themselves lucky to live there.
Putting its beauty aside, Johannesburg is a thriving business network and a world-class destination for working professionals.
The cost of living in the expatriate popular parts of South Africa’s major cities is much the same as in those of Australia, France, Germany, the UK and the US. Luxury products are equivalent, but wine and spirits are relatively inexpensive, as is dining out. Food costs slightly less as does accommodation. Going to the beach, enjoying the view and hiking up mountains are mostly free.
