This will affect lots of expat South Africans, specially those working in low-income tax countries such as UAE etc etc.

I was born in Finland and never had SA citizenship. My wife is South African but as she emigrated officially, the proposed tax law does not affect her as she is no longer an SA resident. Her primary home is here in Portugal and she is registered for tax here.
It will only apply to SA tax residents working abroad.

I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

No jaDEB, not upset, but reality is I have 2 boys and I don’t think they will be allowed to reach their full potential in peace here.  It’s sad ‘cause they are bright and dedicated and would have picked up all around them, but yeah. Sayonara.

Yes, agree with you. Know people that moved there, but please note, I am sure u are aware "The country records more than 14,000 earthquakes a year – but only about 150 are usually felt. Schoolchildren in the country regularly undertake earthquake drills"

The NZ average number of deaths from Earthquakes is 15 per YEAR. The average number murders in South Africa is 49 per DAY! Is it really a hard choice?

Incidentally there are 46 people murdered in New Zealand per year as per last statistics, so you're still three times more likely to be murdered than die in an earthquake over there.

I think you missed something Hamster, the numbers for New Zealand were per year and SA were per day!

Your stats should look like this:
NZ: 0.000003191489362
SA: 0.0036906382978723

SA has over 1156 higher chance.

I’m more afraid of ‘economic death” and degradation than anything else.

You and me both. The discussion of wealth taxes and citizenship rather than residency based taxes has me doing a lot of research!
