It is commonly said that Gauteng is 2-5 years behind the world and the Free State is 5 years behind Gauteng. If you are used to working at a Gauteng pace, you can excel in the Free State. You have the freedom to enjoy quality life experiences, especially outdoor ones.

There is a saying about Bloemfontein “You cry when you arrive, and you cry when you have to leave.” Many people cry for different reasons upon arrival, but those who cry when they leave do so because they have grown to love the place.
