What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Durban. They wrote...

"Expats in Durban often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as the local population speaks a variety of languages including Zulu and Afrikaans, in addition to English. The pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is generally slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustration when dealing with bureaucratic processes or business transactions. Some expats may also struggle with the high levels of poverty and inequality that are visible in the city, which can be a stark contrast to their home countries. The crime rate in Durban is also relatively high, which can be a source of concern for expats. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and social norms can also be challenging for some expats," explained one expat living in Durban, South Africa.
