Default Help on Going to New Zealand

Hello,

Iam a newbie to this site, and was wondering if anyone could help me.

We (my family) are thinking of moving to New Zealand. We are from Zimbabwe, and have been living in South Africa for four years. As you may or may not know, the situation in Zimbabwe is HORRIFIC and we CANNOT return. However, the situation in South Africa isn't any better. My husband and I were hi-jacked at gunpoint last year, while our little boy was stuck in the car with the hi-jackers. and recently, we were all attacked and robbed in our house, also at gun point. I cannot continue living in constant fear, and this is no place to raise a familly!!
We are therefore thinking of going to New Zealand. My little boy and I can leave as soon as possible on holiday, and we do not require visas (SA passport). Can I go on holiday and look for a job, obtain a work permit and then sponsor my husband to join me - who is on a Zimbabwean passport? We do have friends in NZ who are willing to accommodate us and assist financially. But I would like to know if the steps Iam thinking of are correct and will they work out for us....once we get work permits etc...surely we can settle down. Obviously I will have all the paperwork neccessary for that, like medicals and x-rays and clearances done etc...etc...
Thanks for any help, input, ideas...etc...
All the best.
