There we go....those statistics represent what goes on in the poorest crappiest part of the province. That's a whole other world to what the middle classes live in. That's something that is lost in trabslation of these statistics. The things the poor experience are not the same as the middle classes experience. That's like someone wanting to live in San francisco and showing them the crime rate in Detroit. Keep it real buddy.

I mean go to the townships in Rio, Brazil and you'll find extremely high crime statistics ...but would you let that convince you that the suburbs of Rio were a dangerous place to live ?

When I say "South Africa is safe" ...I say that in full knowledge you're not going to move into hillbrow or the middle of Soweto. Really....compare apples with apples.

You just have to have been to the middle classed/luxury parts of durban/P.E once to laugh off the idea that it's exceptionally dangerous. No where in the world is perfectly safe , but honestly you could only get durban on that technicality. If you're middle classed it's as safe as anywhere.
