From my experience, the country is a beautiful place, and most people are amazing, the food is great, the culture great. But every single person I met knows of at least one close friend or family member that has gotten robbed there by gunpoint, kidnapped, or worse, sooner or later. Not friend of friend, or heard in the grapevine, but straight up know someone personally who's been through it. The problem is the government doesn't do enough to stop it from happening again and again, and again. It's a shame. I'm glad you guys are safe.

Well, Jody can speak for himself, I'm sure, but to me, "real South Africans" are people who recognise and realise their true humanity in the way that they treat their fellow human beings - after all - South Africa is the birthplace of the concept of "Ubuntu". Or rather, let me say, that the word "ubuntu" came out of South Africa, but the concept is Africa-wide, and, I suspect, maybe even worldwide. Only through how we interact with other humans can we become truly human...

One year of living in Peru I was robbed at gun point in a taxi. He then drops us off somewhere sketchy. I stick out like a sore thumb and people harass me on the way of trying to find police. I find “security” people who don’t have phones or internet. Eventually I find the police to have someone pick me up and he tells me to hurry because he doesn’t have much data left and that the robber is probably at the club now with my money. It’s when something happens, you realize what it is really like living in a developing country.

Gerard George Not necessarily, sounds like the group including the home owner, who should have known better; were not watching their backs. I’m guessing what drew the robbers were the big entourage with foreign accents, lack of awareness of surroundings, flashy lifestyle, dogs not in main house; and a possible unlocked door contributed to this happening. Three guys with a gun means they planned this robbery, maybe even cased the place and struck when they knew no one was watching. I’m not saying this to be mean, just something that tends to happen when people are traveling in groups, there is sometimes a false sense of security and no one is watching out.

My cousin immigrated to Jo'burg from a neighboring African country and he got killed by carjackers last year helping his friend and his friend's gf when their car broke down (they both thankfully were unharmed). I'm still heartbroken, he had so much to give the world and so much life to live, he didn't deserve to die like that. I'm happy you all got out alive. Sending you tons of love and positive energy✨💖

I’ve lived in south africa my entire life and also have a few chilling stories about Johannesburg. Here’s three of the most memorable ones: My family hired builders for our house when I was around 6 years old and they basically monitored our every move and knew our schedules exactly. So one day they raided our house since they knew the house would be empty and completely disappeared with all our stuff along with the leader (who appeared to be very trustworthy) of their team. My dad installed three additional locks to the sliding door they jammed open after that. In the same year a man stuck a gun in my face through our car window and told be to “shut the fuck up” for crying (I was a child what dit he expect??) and stole my mom’s wedding ring and all our belongings. Another story that seems quite funny to me now was when someone jammed a brick under our electric fence to create a gap for their body to fit through without setting of the alarm but eventually noticing it was a shit plan and just left the brick there. It can be a scary place at times but if you’re cautious you’ll be completely fine. Gang culture is also huuuge in the townships so just watch out for that.

Robbed [no gun point] twice in South Africa. The first time when I lived in Pretoria, I was walking back home from work --lived and worked on the same block. 6pm, which in Uganda is the break of day! I screamed for help, but everyone on the street just walked past me while I got robbed. Escaped with no harm. In Uganda, people will beat up those thieves. In CPT - It is 2010 - World Cup, I am having so much fun with other Americans. Left my purse on my seat, "because I am at the Waterfront, where the rich be!" Everything was taken. Thankfully, I didn't have an open tab!

I'm from Mozambique, grew up traveling to everywhere in South Africa and I must agree Jozi is just tough. I really would recommend as a touristic destination unless you had a born and raised in South Africa "tourist guide" that you trusted and would be with you 24/7, because they already know when something is off...like if you are being followed, etc etc...

Cape town and Durban is okay. Also has it's bad areas, but much safer than Johannesburg. You should also try smaller cities like Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit and East London... Port Elizabeth is a coastal city that sits halfway between Cape town and Durban. Nelspruit is close to the Kruger National Park, and East London is a very laid back small coastal city. There are so many other smaller cities and towns that are overlooked by tourists, because they are overshadowed by those 3 big cities.

a guy who teaches personal defense in our town had his wife and kids kidnapped with him in Brasil. They executed them one at a time in front of him while they ordered him to wire his life savings and even more each time. after days they were on lower energy and got sloppy and he overcame them, too late to save family. He hunted every one of them down, beat and tortured each one of them to death getting info where to get the next one, brutally executing every single one of them. But he now lives with a huge aching hole in his soul. A coworker from J-town SA told me the crooks there would set up snipers at gated entrances and take out the drive when they rolled their bullet proof glass down to enter gate code, then take his wallet, dump body and drive away in his car. I think you were lucky not to get shot - because you saw their faces.
