Like any big city that I have lived in, there are good and bad areas. The places where expats go and do things are generally as safe as any big city in the world or as unsafe. Reasonable caution goes a long way. The school has a good rep, but the current director is leaving, so who knows? The bulk of the people that work here like it and stay for a while. South Africa itself is a great place.

I am assuming you work at the school. Are you planning to stay? Is it a good place for a single female to live? Is there an active social life outside of school? Is the salary good for the cost of living there? Thanks so much!

I do not work at the school. The salary/benefits package is at the very least adequate, more likely you could consider it good. The cost of living is now average, though 4 years ago it was cheap. The current rate of about 7 Rand to the dollar was close to 14 a few years ago. It has been stable at 7 for over a year now.
There is a lot to do in Joburg. Just depends on finding what you want. It is a big city and has everything
