<h1>South Africa :: Western Cape Province </h1>
<h2>Property Investment and Lifestyle and Leisure Information</h2>
<p>Western Cape is one of the nine South African provinces; the others are Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, Limpopo, Northwest Province, the Free State and Gauteng. Western Cape itself divides into six areas - Cape Town, West Coast, Boland (Winelands), Overberg, Eden (Garden Route) and Central Karoo. The total area of the country is just over 1.2m square kilometres of which Western Cape occupies 129,000 square kilometres, roughly 10%. The province's population, at 4m people is a slightly less than 10% proportion; nearly 90% of these Cape people live in urban areas. They enjoy the highest per capita income, life expectancy and the second highest literacy rates and educational achievement levels in South Africa. The unemployment rate is also the lowest in South Africa, at 13%. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Western Cape was R81 billion (£8bn) in 1999, 15% of South Africa's total GDP. The major sectors in Western Cape were financial intermediation, insurance, real estate and business services (27%), manufacturing (21%), and wholesale, retail trade, catering and accommodation (15%). These sectors, with general government services, were also the major sectors in South Africa as a whole. Mining and quarrying; and electricity, gas and water were minor sectors in Western Cape, whereas wholesale, retail trade, catering and accommodation; agriculture, forestry and fishing; and electricity, gas and water were minor sectors in South Africa as a whole. The Western Cape is culturally diverse and draws on traditions from Europe, South East Asia, India and Africa. Half the population is categorised as 'coloured', a quarter 'white' and a quarter 'African'. A significantly much greater proportion of the Western Cape population speak English (which is also the overwhelming language of commerce) 'at home' than elsewhere in South Africa. Many people speak Afrikaans. This is a highly developed, modern place; people here have the highest number of hospital beds, the highest proportion of households with mains water and with telephone communications. They also have the lowest levels of childbirth, infant mortality and HIV-Aids infection - by far. More than half the population live less than half a kilometre from the nearest hospital. TB rates are, however, disproportionately high.</p>

The Western Cape or Cape West
</p><p>South Africa’s Western Cape province is truly one of the most desirable places on earth to live and work. It is like New Zealand or California or Florida or the Spanish Costas. Wonderful climate, and beautiful scenery and geography and beaches. With one of the world’s most attractive cities, Cape Town and its exclusive suburbs Clifton and Camps Bay. Many British people have moved there. It is a safe and secure area with a modern well developed infrastructure of roads and telecommunications. Excellent education system including schools, colleges and universities.</p><p>
This is a great place to buy property or to invest in property, with a stable and rising market and where properties are comparatively cheap compared with other places in the world that are as attractive.
The countryside includes wineries and farmsteads. You can play golf and live in one the many lush golf condominiums. Or play tennis, or sail or indulge in one of many watersports. The language spoken is English.
</p><p>
You can find and purchase land or plots. Or buy an apartment or a villa to live and work in, or as a holiday home or second home or as a great investment with secure growth potential. Urban, rural or suburban.
