South Africa Danger Zone
Monday, August 10, 2009
South Africa’s rates of murder, rape, and car theft rank among the highest in the world. Be cautious after dark, because streets are often badly lit. Park in well-lit areas, and don’t stop to assist apparently distressed motorists.
If you’re visiting Johannesburg, be particularly careful in and around the airport and while driving away. There have been a number of incidents involving foreigners followed from O.R. Tambo International Airport to their destinations by car and then robbed at gunpoint. Other high-risk areas in Joburg include Berea, Hillbrow, and the Rotunda bus terminus in the Central Business District, where muggings are on the increase. Likewise, be vigilant at all times in Durban’s city centre and beachfront area. Large groups of armed criminals target banks, grocery stores, and other business establishments at public malls.
