Have to agree - as i was reading your last post i found myself thinking "Well these people are asking for trouble doing what they doing, who the hell goes to soweto and expects to come out alive? It's the devils graveyard!!!" but as you have very well stated, it's not the norm. It's tragic to come to the realisation that to enjoy S.A. you have to have lived there long enough to understand the do's and don'ts. Hence my advise - do plenty of home work, more than any other country probably, find a friend there to direct you. If you do not have the correct direction you can count yourself being another statistic. Do it properly and carefully and you will love it.
