I assume these are the ETFs that will be available to us:

Which ones will you be interested in investing in?

If that's what will be coming, and they'll stick to their TERs then it's a no brainer for me, SWDA (developed world) and EIMI (developing world) in probably a 85% 15% split* to represent the whole world. The combined TER should end up being around 0.21%. They accumulate, so dividends are automatically reinvested, some people like that, others don't, I'm neutral on it.
But here's what I don't get, SWDA is pound denominated, and eimi is $ denominated. I can't see how they could list those on the JSE, not without doing the currency exchange and adding to the TER at least. Hope I'm wrong...
*I currently put my offshore money into VWRD which is the equivalent of the above two funds, though non accumulating. It's TER is 0.25%, so maybe I should start doing IWDA (the $ based version of SDWA)/EIMI and save 0.04% ::)

I was hoping to see some international small or mid cap ETFs. Looks like I will have to wait a bit longer then. The global developed markets property ETF seems interesting.

Just had a quick scan and would be interested in this one.

That is a fairly good yield, but IMEU (European index) has a 3% yield and has outperformed the divi index lately. It's not being offered though, I just have it here for comparison(http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/kaavio.Webhost/charts/big.chart?nosettings=1&symb=IDVY&uf=0&type=64&size=4&sid=2150359&style=370&freq=2&entitlementtoken=0c33378313484ba9b46b8e24ded87dd6&startdate=1/1/2009&enddate=4/19/2016&rand=1119099265&compidx=aaaaa%3a0&comp=IMEU&ma=0&maval=9&lf=262144&lf2=0&lf3=0&height=635&width=1045&mocktick=1)
