All of this talk about crime has really scared me..and I'm starting to rethink whether or not it would be a good idea to go. I've previously lived in los angeles, taipei, and london so i'm not afraid of moving?
Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Dahlia,
I read much of the same messages as you have when I was deciding to come to South Africa. The best advice I ever got was " Let it make you wiser and not afraid." So now I am passing this on to you. There are many people who live happy safe lives here. Keep doing your homework and trust in yourself.
I'm not able to address your Capetown Queries. Likely, someone will be able to shed some light on your specific questions. ...as to being scared- no, no, no, there is no power in fear.
Blessings,
