I've been living in South Africa a year and a half now, another two and a half to go assuming my visa extension is approved.
Two things I didn't expect to experience here, but have been a great bonus are:
The local craft beer. Lots of good IPA type stuff, and lots of bars serving them, and some great outdoor beer festivals. Beer festivals that feature:
Live local bands, playing original music.

Here are a few to look out for
The Motherland
https://www.facebook.com/motherlandband?fref=ts
We've seen these more than any other band. They play almost all the festivals, and three weeks out of four they play my favourite local bar:
https://www.facebook.com/SocialOnMain1?fref=ts
on a Sunday afternoon. Those sessions typically feature four acts. A lot if solo singer/songwriter, but also bands. They're free 8)

Crash Car Burn https://www.facebook.com/crashcarburn?fref=ts whilst they sound a little like Busted, they're a lot better than that. Very good live.

Prime Circle https://www.facebook.com/Prime.Circle?fref=ts Thought they were soft rock because of one of the singles they released was very soft, but much harder and louder live.

Gangs of Ballet https://www.facebook.com/GangsOfBallet?fref=ts three piece with great guitaring

Monark https://www.facebook.com/monarkband?fref=ts play almost all the local festivals too

finally, Jeremy Loops https://www.facebook.com/jeremyloops?fref=ts Never thought I'd like a one man band that feaures rap segments, but another act that is great live.
