WTF happened to Rhodes?

Rand strengthened by almost 12% and this caused a 20% slide in international turnover. Total turnover increased by 10%. Plus what jaDEB stated above for the coming year.

The same happened to ADI. Turnover up by 25% and it tanked by 6% in minutes. Now well up again.

No-way-no-how. 

Seeing this is also a cherry-picking and tap-out of sorts situation, I'll answer you right here: :D

It’s not like just rocking up at the border africa-style with a bribe in the hand.

You have to jump through endless hoops and even then, you are not guaranteed entry.  Out tally to date is R90 912 already and we still have to do the following:  NZ$ 6495 (exchange rate at 9.70) & ZAR 8232.  Oh ja, and remember to add 15% VAT on both.

All above is just for hypothetical entry into the county, you still have not arrived yet, as a matter of fact, you don’t even have a plane ticket yet.

All family members have to write an English Test, if somebody fails – (and I don’t mean at SA 30%-pass rate, I mean at more than 80% NZ-pass rate), you’ll get rejected.  They don’t care if you majored in English Literature by the way, they will test you themselves.
 
All family members have to go through medical check – no chronic meds, obesity, life-threatening illness, no AIDS, TB, no mental/physical issues, no use of anti-depressants or chill pills ever.
 
We were already checked out in our first meeting - interviews were in English for all, we thought it was just an info session but they confessed they checked us out, how we looked, how we speak, how we interact with them and each other – luckily our kids were educated in English, they would have failed die Afrikaanse weergawe want hulle verstaan nie mooi Afrikaanse woorde soos “toegevoeg, byvoorbeeld, bysienswaardigheid” ens nie.  So first hurdle good – they said we may proceed with the process.

A big shock to my system was that after 2010, no SA University Degree is recognized.  Yes really.  Only Engineering Degrees were accepted but that also changed this year. [Edit:  Engineering Degrees also not recognized since 2014 - my bad].   So, you take your degree (my son just received his B.Com Hon Fin Man Sciences (Investment Banking) – University Pretoria -  to their Quality Assessment Division in NZ, they check your course content, papers, your points statements, your degree and you write a test and they will accordingly decide where you fit in on their standard.  Then you have to do a bridging course at their Uni’s for whatever time, depending on what they decide.  Same for SA schools, you have to do a year or 2 year bridging before allowed into their Uni’s, depending which course you did in SA and which course you want to apply for in NZ.   (At least my son’s CIMA is accepted but again it’s not from Afrique de Sud,  it’s UK based.) So let your kids study abroad to begin with, all SA Uni’s are frowned upon outside Africa.

So the easy part of it all is where you begin, you have to be within a certain age range, your job has to be on their critical skills list – (which they rewrite and contract every 4 months), you have to have a ITA (invitation to apply) and you have to already have accepted a job offer above a minimum salary NZ$ 50 000 pa.

Oh an no criminal records or substance abusers obviously.
 
And remember, there are no guarantees of outcome, if they reject you along the line – so be it, no refunds.

Now you can start to arrange for shipping (last time to UK cost us R130 000) and because a ship takes 3 months to arrive, you also have to do air freight as well (last time R40 000) for essentials. Air tickets R30 000 return per person for interviews and quality checks. 

So no Patrick it is not easy. 

But what price do you put on taking your genetic line from a 3rd world county to a 1st world?   – yeah that is priceless – our grand-kidz and theirs better build statues and sing our names in praise forever.   

Then I think of my own genetic ancestors – my grand-pappi emigrated from Scotland to SA four generations back and I’m just thinking. – Why-oh-why did you do that?

You’re not getting a statue Oupa.


(The whole process takes anything between 9-18 months, still a long way to go)
