" but never had a prob in SA"
Which is why you keep on going back there.
Until something does happen whereupon you have this damascus type conversion and cant understand why anyone in their right mind wishes to go there.
Or you are so embarrassed that you neve mention it again online,just in case someone sings you the Sha nan naan na song.(which is the most frequent occurrence)
Or you are dead.

Or, you get seriously lucky and never have anything life threatening happen to you and just cant understand why people say its unsafe.

There are three kinds of people in SA.
Victims of Violent crime.
People who have'nt yet experienced Violent crime
Violent criminals.

The only people who can tell me theres no chance violent crime will happen to them in SA, are either already dead or not living in SA .
