If we're going down the route of saying most of the JSE listing have offshore exposure then this whole topic is moot. Your RA and pension is 70% JSE. Your home is 100% RSA (unless you own property offshore, but then you're probably not reading this thread). For most that is the bulk of their wealth and we're not even mentioning any cash and other assets you have locally. Your TFSA being so small by comparison can just as well go 100% offshore. But to each their own: if you are renting and don't have an RA then this all changes.

This whole discussion is academic, of course. Every person's financial situation is different and what suits one person may not suit another. I'm not so sure that I agree with you with regards to the pensions and RAs being all RSA though. Most pensions and RA plans have 30% directly offshore, and the 70% that is left is usually market capped, so your Naspers etc. weigh heavily with quite a lot of indirect offshore exposure, bringing the actual offshore exposure closer 50%.
