Hallo
I just got back in Europe after living in Joburg for 9 month.
I lived in Sandton. I learned there that walking on the streets in not as normal as it is in Europe. If you want to walk, only during the day and you have to know the way.
I think you'll live in a boomed area or an estate. Almost al these places have a pool, some of them even got a tenniscourt. If you got all this is your estate, your kids can even walk there on their own.
I don't know where you come from, but august and July are not really the month you want to go swimming. The people from Africa even think it's freezing when it is 15 degrees. And after a few weeks you are cold yourself.

I loved living in Africa and miss it a lot!
Go and enjoy your time there!

You must have a car so you can travel where ever you want. Nice things to do with you kids:
Lesedi cultural village, goldreaf city, steamtrain, horse riding near hartbeesportdam, apartheidsmuseum, zoo, pilaansberg, lionspark or lion and rinopark, going to a township with a guide.

I volunteerd at a very nice orphanage, you could go there like ones a week with your kids? if you would like that, send me a message and I'll give you more information.

Enjoy your time there!

regards
Mirjam
