ADVERTORIAL
CYPRUS OFFERS THE BEST
Residency & 2nd Citizenship Programmes in Europe
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity!
Many South Africans are buying an offshore property to acquire permanent residency or a 2nd citizenship. The
main reason is personal: to formalise a Plan B to guarantee the family’s future by protecting against political risk
and economical instability.
By far the most popular investment destination is Europe. Being the world’s largest single market and global
trading block, Europe is entering a growth cycle; employment is on the incline plus the lifestyle on offer ticks
many boxes.
Cyprus, an English-speaking, ex-British colony and full EU member has been voted as having THE BEST permanent

Multi-Sport Facility
Grande Opening
A super social family time on the banks of the sports field with players who didn’t want to leave the crisp, new arena.
Much fun had in every single one of our friendly team games of hockey, netball and soccer. Hysterical
sportsmanship as we pulled some teen boys in to play in a girls netball team, and then our young girls
showed the boys exactly how to play soccer.
Possibly the biggest challenge was keeping the mom’s and dad’s from hogging the field - I can’t quite
decide who had the most fun. Thank you Featherbrooke, that was brilliant!
A very special word of thanks to Gina Gerber who kindly co-ordinated all the teams for the day. That task
was certainly no small feat. Deep appreciation for your time and involvement, Gina!
