Hello, my name's Christina, originally from Egypt. I'm going to move to Johannesburg next January, i have too many questions. First of all, is it safe to live there?? i'm very concerned about this!it's my first time to leave Egypt. My husband has been working there for 3 month and i'll join him with my little girl, she's 2 years old. Where to live? my husband's work is in Gallo more so we want a good suburb near there. Also i need to know areas with nurseries for my daughter? What is the reasonable price to rent a 2 bedrooms apartment? Thank you :)
