Businessmen from South Africa: ease, nature and real care
A country of many cultures, where men combine Western manners with family warmth.
South Africa is a remarkably mixed country: English, African, Indian and Dutch traditions live side by side. Men here grew up among different cultures, so they accept a foreign wife very easily. You will not have to prove anything.
South African entrepreneurs work in mining, wine, agriculture, tourism, finance and IT. They are practical, calm about risk, and know how to enjoy simple things: a braai with friends, the ocean, a weekend in nature.
In relationships they are warm and unpretentious. Respect for women is visible: opening the door, driving you, helping, never raising his voice. Family weekends with children and parents are the favourite part of the week.
For a well-off family the quality of life is excellent: spacious houses with gardens, a beautiful climate, good schools, the ocean and game reserves nearby. Many women say they truly learned to rest there.
What to know. Safety varies by area — families often live in secured estates, and that is ordinary practice. Distances are long and a car is essential.
Small downsides: it is far from Europe and Russia, the flight is long, and you will see your relatives less often. On the other hand, guests are welcomed with great joy and for long stays.
In short: a calm, easy-going and caring man, beautiful nature and a family life without excess strictness — that is South Africa.
