Although crime is a big problem here, it's not the #1 crime rate in the world.
It all depends on where you are etc, you obviously need to take precautions like basically it's pretty unsafe to walk the streets at night or walk the streets holding your phone/camera vlogging etc. I mean like when I walk around I get scared I'm not going to lie because I've never been mugged/jumped before.

In my 18 years of living here, I've personally never been mugged/jumped, I think a few of my houses have been broken into, but I remember like 3 of them but no harm was done at all as they robbed us while everyone was out of the house, we were covered by insurance though.

Although South Africa is unsafe in some aspects, ie. crime etc, it's still a wonderful place to visit.

Regarding the carjacking:
You don't really hear of too many hijackings here, and if you do nobody usually gets hurt, of course they get threatened and stuff but you don't hear much of anyone getting killed in a hijacking. It rarely ever happens in broad daylight etc, like most crimes.
It just depends on how many people are around so make sure you're at places with plenty people, like Table Mountain and V&A Waterfront.


I'm not a Wibbles Lmod so I'm not able to, I'll get someone to move it soon though
