South Africans in Qatar

Hi everyone,

My husband has been offered a job in Qatar with Sasol and me and my 4 month old son will be going with. I just want to find out from anyone what life is like in qatar especially for a stay at home mother.

Do you like living there?

Are the healthcare facilities good?

What are the houses like?

Just general information as we have to make a decision by next week before we go on a look see visit.

Anyone can email me at nikkik/-a-t-/webmail.co.za

Thanks!

My name is Willie Ras and i live in Bloemfontein, SA. I was made a offer to come and work in Doha as a Transport planner for Mowasalat. The offer isnt clear yet but i was told it would be around R50000.00 or 24641.00 QAR Basic salary, then accomodation and travel allowance will be added. I know everyone ask this but i want to find out from other south africans what you think. What is the minimum amount QAR that will be able to sustain a family of 3 as my wife won't be working. How much must be budgeted for the following:

Accomodation
Vehicle Allowance (Any 4x4)
Groceries
Broadband Internet
Satellite TV (If available)

Please feel free to reply with additional items you know of that i missed.

If you're really feeling homesick, Megamart (The Center) has some insanely priced Appletise - QR7.50 (R15!!!) for a bottle.

So today is the day!! THE DAY SOUTH AFRICA WIPE THE FLOOR WITH ENGLAND!! So Go bokke GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..make us proud and “bring die koppie huis toe”

Hi guys I accepted job with QP what is the requirements for RSA citizens to obtain RP in Qatar

Are there enough NG Kerk members to justify a "gemeente"?. I prefer my own way of worship and would welcome this. Please comment and let's see if we can get one going. I'm personally not really comfortable with the non-demominational Places of Worship. Maybe still a bit conservative.

I am personally willing to dedicate time to this if there is a real interest.

some one send me via email the news about the ties and weather conditions currently hitting amanzimtoti, Beach all washed away and closed as a danger zone. House have 1/2 their foundations washed away and some are just hanging there and other collapsed. Cape Town taking a beating with flooding and poor people having to live in this water logged area with their homes full of water. The ground is so soaked that there is not where for the water to go.
