Thats BS.South Africa does have a high crime rate i agree but its not as drastic as people make it out to be.



You just say that because you've not lived in a country where you can walk the streets alone safely at night.


7 years in KZN 5 years In Jozi the Rest in Mpumalanga. Yes you are right at night safety levels drop but i think its like that in most developed countries too.But what are you doing walking at night anyways boet? Alone nogal


> i think its like that in most developed countries too.

See that's where you lack perspective. In safe countries (like here in Australia) you can name any suburb in the country and I'll go for a stroll at 3am with no fear for my personal safety. Why? Maybe I was out drinking and I'm catching a bus home.
