i decided to post a reply for all of you. Yes crime is pretty prominent in south africa, i know of many people that have become victim. If i were to give any tourist any advice it would be to becareful of people that will shaft you for money.
Poeple can see the difference between a south african and Non even if u have lived here in sa for a while. Just be sharp and carefull hwo you deal iwth in SA.
In our business we deals with tourists all the time and only put forward our best , we show people the rough areas if they'd like to see it but make them aware that there are alos splendid areas such as that of all countries.
SA has a lot to offer and i hope one day the crime is under control..... for those that live here, stay here its ur country and you make it your country by being here, for those that are visiting, this country needs inetrnational support and is a flourishing african country....
if ever you here call us to see SA from a whole new angle.
