Work / South African wants to move to Poland, please provide some input? [59]
Hi everyone i'm posting on behalf of my boyfriend. My boyfriend is the 4th generation in south africa that immegrated from Poland (in the WWII) and owns his own PV Solar installation company, he started this company based on different reasons, one of them is that whites can't find work in south africa and the other reason is that our currentcy has dropped against living cost in south africa. Although this business did well for the past 4 years he now wants to close it and move to Poland due to the financial fact. 1: He can't get work from private companies because he don't have a BEE status (don't have a black partner). 2: No financial institution (bank) wants to help him due to the fact that he is not BEE (don't have a black partner). Black Empowerment means that he has to give away 30 to 50% of his company depending on what level BEE status he wants. He wants to move us to Poland (we all are white) as he believes there is now future for our 3months old son in south africa. He has been talking about this for the past 2years. In the past 20 years there has been more farm murders (white people) than in WWI and WWII combined. Although he is Afrikaans speaking i believe there is still Polish blood in him, because he always stands up for those who can't stand up for themselves. He wants to start learning to speak Polish now. As he works in remote areas (installing off grid solar systems) for long periods of time in south africa he is not willing to work away anymore because he can't guarantee his families savety on the farm. I've asked him numerous times why not america, canada or new zealand but he is hard headed and wants to move back where his great great grandfather comes from. I think my big question is will Poland accept us as i'm a south african as well (and for those who wants to know we are all white and Afrikaans speaking)?
Kind Regards
