I am moving to Johannesburg with my family, after my husband decided to take a job there. We were over for the World Cup in 2010, so I've seen a bit of Cape Town, but don't know much about Johannesburg. If anyone could let me know how the schools are there, I'd be very grateful. I guess we'd prefer a private or international school- just not sure about which would be better.
Thank you so much!
