The city is small, very quiet, it is near to all the necessities, there is a mild danger of thieves, it is often not cold, one has to know English as a way of communicating with others as an alternative since most people speak Zulu or Xhosa. Job opportunities are mild.
Pietermaritzburg is a beautiful city in KwaZulu-Natal. There are three things you should know if you are planning on moving here:
1. Learn to speak IsiZulu as it is the common language.
2. Do not use Bluetooth speakers whilst walking near Imbali taxi rank.
3. Respect the elderly; respect is very important especially for the elderly.
Bonus tip: Learn to count taxi fare change if you are going to be travelling in the early hours of the day, especially if you are planning on sitting in the front.
