Is South Africa a safe place to visit as a tourist?
I would like to visit South Africa one day on a tour. I would like to visit Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. However, I met a South African couple who said that it is not very safe and sometimes strangers can knock on your door and rob you and threaten you with a gun. Is this true? Is South Africa a dangerous place? Or only certaina areas? Are the police effective or corrupt?
What about those cities I mentioned?
Let me start with are the police effective or corrupt? The police have a reputation for being corrupt and cases of corrupt policeman are on the increase. Jackie Selebe, the commissioner of police is facing criminal and corruption charges, amongst a number of others and this is what has been exposed, it is too frightening to even think how rife it is.
Crime is everywhere in the world but some of our crime statistics unfortunately speak for themselves, so it is important irrespective of where you are in SA to take common sense precautions as well as consistently being vigilant.
I have either spent quite some time in or lived in the 4 cities you have mentioned and without exception each city has its "no go" areas, but each city also has a lot to do and see. The CBD of Johannesburg is the worst of the 4. Cape Town for me is by far the best city and if I were you I would spend more time there than in the other cities.
Here is a helpful link in terms of safety in SA, there are many more just search for them on this forum.

Do not believe everything you read about SA, SA is without a doubt worth a visit, and that is not a biased opinion, the number of tourists visiting SA is on the increase.
