I wonder what times of year are best to visit. I have been to South Africa but never made it to Cape Town. Have heard that it is amazing.

What's the job market like in Cape Town. I visited there this past July and absolutely fell in love with the Western Cape. I get the sense that Joburg is the commercial center of South Africa. What industries are doing well in Cape Town?

I'm moving to Stellenbosch in late March for research. My salary is about 175,000 Rand (=$20,000). Will I be living a meager life in the Cape?

also, is there a lot of hype for the new HIV/TB institute (HHMI) being built in Durban? It should be an impressive place.
