Yes...that's the problem. It covers the whole of durban including the townships. Find me a statistic that shows it's dangerous to live in a middle classed or luxury area. You can't. Here's a clue why ....it's not dangerous at all !
Do you think this lady is planning to move into the tin shanty parts of the township ? Of what relevence then is the crime statistics of that part of the country ? You have a very unsophisticated view of South Africa and it's dual nature.....parts first world and parts third world. You can't compare the experience of living in one part with the other. It's not like a family living in umglangha has the same risk of crime than a woman living in a tin hut amongst people struggling to survive. Who do you think you are fooling ? And why are you trying to fool them exactly ?
Are you honestly trying to convince me...a fellow south african , that there are parts of our country that aren't perfectly safe ? I live in P.e mate ....don't make me laugh. I never worried about crime, or experienced any of it a day in my life. If i live in "new brighton" (our townships area) I'd maybe know something about it. But to show me some statistic from a township that happens to be close to my city and say that represents my way of life is absurd.
