I would jump at this opportunity. Sounds like a good package, especially if you are in your 20s. Is $40,000 pay gross or net? Sandton is cool, lots going on, and from Joburg you have plenty of cheap travel opportunities. As long as you're sensible South Africa isn't too dodgy (not even Joburg). Certainly not the murder-spree that news makes it out to be, as long as you stay out of the townships and take sensible precautions, especially at night.
Go for it! I have been to South Africa multiple times, have friends there and would not hesitate to move there (in fact we applied for a job there starting August 2019 but didn't get it...)
