I am from London and have lived in South Africa for the last four years and happily call Cape Town home now. Indeed the level of crime in South Africa is high but by far the mtaorijy of visits to South Africa are completely trouble free. Have I been the victim of crime here Yes, why? Because I didnt listen to local advice, thought it would be fine to walk somewhere at the wrong time through the wrong places. Have I been a victim of crime in London yes on a good few occasions. I manage a tour operator based in South Africa and 99% of the 4000+ visitors we bring into South Africa each year have completely trouble free holidays. My family regularly visit me here and in the 15+ times various people have visited no one has had any problems. The one reason for this they are listening to local advice. Come to South Africa, you will have an amazing time. The hospitality of the South Africans is second to none, just remember one thing ASK ADVICE! If you are staying in a hotel or guest house they will gladly give you the information you need or call you a licenced taxi to get you safely from A to B but do remember, if you're coming for World Cup, its slap bang in the middle of our winter so be prepared to get wet.
