South Africa’s cheap private hospitals (if you have Dollars, Euros and Pounds, of course and if you’re not a black and poor local) have made it a sough after destination for plastic surgery tourism. Serious. Now Cape Town is one of 10 best places to retire for Americans, according to Globalpost.

South Africa
Thanks to its sandy beaches and majestic Table Mountain, Cape Town is known as one of the world’s most beautiful cities and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa. Retirees — especially those who love high quality, inexpensive wine and/or facelifts — can find plenty to keep themselves busy here.

• Activities: Beaches, mountains, wineries, safaris
• Cost of living: 68
• Healthcare: High quality medical care is available in major cities. Less expensive private hospitals have made South Africa a destination for plastic surgery tourism.
• Human development index: 68.3
• Weather: Cape Town’s winters are mild; beautiful summers

Of course the help is also cheap, and black.
