Hi Anonymous,

Firstly thank you for commenting on our BLOG.

Banks will loan money to non South African citizens, but only 50% loans will be provided. Also you will need to open up a south african bank account as a requirement.

Has anyone every wondered why the government isn't doing anything about the jobs being outsourced? And if former college students are having problems with paying back their loans, why can't the government do anything about these jobs so that these former college students would be able to pay the federal students loan back? So my argument is that if they need this money back to them, why can't they do anything about these jobs?

You've sure shared a very positive ideas for acquiring home loans. It's a fact that most people gets attracted to low cost home loans rather than those high-end loans, who would not want either.
