I'm from South Africa (elephants in streets, lions as pets etc) but parents are planning to move to Australia end of next year. Then I'm planning on taking a break from studies and explore the world a bit for a year, and then I'll try to maneuver my way into UK some how.
Hail Springbok! I'm a kiwi, so I always like South Africans, especially when they're in competition with those menacing Australian fools!
As for your parents, do you think they will take this too seriously? Is it likely to do anything but make them sad and hurt their feelings a bit? If not then i say tell them, they're not going to do anything primitive and kick you to the curb, so while they may take a while to adjust they will eventually accept it.
If you don't see that happening then i wouldn't tell them until you're a bonafied independent adult.
