If you've got skills it's easier. But then you could freelance from home? My mate gets a bit of business locally but 90% of his money comes through his website.
Do you need a visa to go to the UK from SA though?

I have an ancestral UK visa.
The major reason for my move to the UK is because I used to work on megayachts in France, and it's a hell of alot cheaper getting from England to France than from South Africa to France... that costs about 1500 Euro, South Africans can only get 3 month visa's for France, so it'll be much cheaper to go back to England every 3 months to reapply for the French visa.

Makes sense. Ancestral visa though, can you pass that shit on to your kids?

Yeah you can. My grandfather is English, so my dad has full citizenship and I get an ancestral visa. After 5 years of living in England I'll gain full citizenship.

I really don't get this point and yet people make it all the time. If I start up a business and invest my own resources to make it grow, I don't understand how the workers I hired (who have not risked or invested a single penny) somehow have an intrinsic right to make more money. I don't understand how reaping the rewards of my risk/investment all of a sudden makes me a terrible person as a business owner.

Not paying your workers enough to live off is a no no though, that's what the problem is. Also those workers give YOU money so I wouldn't get too cocky about believing the boss deserves all the credit

Never start a business that you cant run by yourself if you can't wrap your head around that simple idea.
