(b) Settle in the country of South Africa.
South Africa has the richest and most varied mineral resources in the region (gold, diamonds, platinum, chrome) and a well-established mining industry with infrastructure, markets and skilled workers. This gives far better prospects for steady employment and profitable operations than the remote Great Escarpment or the water-scarce Kalahari Desert.
