My friend was brutally raped and murder in her apartment in 2001.It is a country where criminals rule.Perhaps because she was white , the murderer felt he could just use extreme cruelty towards her.She was an innocent kind woman.It happens everyday no matter what race you are.Thank God we could immigrate to Canada.

As of October 2019, durban has experienced a uproot in crime levels... Criminals now kill for their targets not intimidate them. We have seen the worst cases of rape, murders, robberies etc.
Our justice system is useless with police taking upto 4 hrs to reach your door for help... Carrying a pepper spray is not we need, we need the death penalty back

Great article, thanks for the tips! Indeed, South Africa has some of the most stunning landscapes on earth and is the perfect spot for an adventure! Unfortunately, the country is also tainted by violent crime and scams: https://travelscams.org/africa/common-tourist-scams-south-africa/

Do be wary of the pickpocketing, robberies, muggings, fake tour guides, beach thefts, drink spiking, currency switcheroo, tourist prices, car pull over scam, fake airport taxi drivers, luggage theft, bogus airport employees, carjacking, car crash scams, smash and grab, ATM scams, fake police, corrupt police and many more!
