As US president Donald Trump opens up a line for South Africans to go live in America , Americans living in South Africa are living in bliss, calling it the 'soft life' in comparison to their lives in the US.
For American-born musician Big Sbuda, living in South Africa represents a new beginning, full of dreams realised and opportunities embraced.
'Im walking through pillars like Im a Roman emperor,' he says while walking through his luxury home in Dainfern, Johannesburg. 'For the amount that Im paying here, it cost me like three times as much in the States, he quipped, emphasising the financial advantages that come with living in South Africa.
It is not only the allure of South Africa's vibrant culture, stunning landscapes and warm hospitality but also that the cost of living is far lower if you compare it to the US and when you come with dollars.
After falling in love with the land during a safari vacation, Sbuda decided to lay down roots in Mzansi in 2023, shedding his American name to pursue a music career centred around the local Amapiano genre.
