Expat group InterNations has published its Expat Insider survey for 2023, showing South Africa has slipped down the ranking as safety is a concern for many expats.
South Africa was ranked as one of the worst places to live out of the 53 countries, alongside Kuwait, Norway, Türkiye, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, and Japan.
South Africa lands among the bottom 10 in the Working Abroad and Quality of Life indices, dropping four and six places, respectively. While increased and relentless load shedding experienced in 2022 and early 2023 garnered some negative feedback from expats, safety and security is the main factor driving South Africa towards the bottom of the list, the report showed.
While InterNations noted that these perspectives are based on subjective responses, data from the Automobile Association of South Africa ’s latest quarterlyAccording to the data, Only 31% of South Africans feel either ‘mostly safe’ or ‘completely safe’ in the country – The report showed that, of this 69%, 37% of citizens feel either ‘barely safe’ or ‘not safe at all’ , while the rest only feel ‘somewhat safe’ living in the country.
