Returns for Financial instruments like bonds,FDs have returns below the inflation rate. For a jamaa who invests in the &quot;other&quot; economic segment like Matatus, Importing Mitumba&#39;s &amp; new clothes, from turkey, india, china, second hand computers &amp; motor vehicle parts etc wealth is kept in houses &amp; land coz the return will be greater that inflation.<br>

Fine, lets all head to Cape Town! I thought cape Town is where the rich in SA live? I think Jo Burg also has cheaper property compared to Nairobi.<br>But its very true that property prices in Nairobi are bloated. A friend who lives in London tells me that prices here are comparable to London to some extent! Doesnt make sense at all.<div>
