Sympathy to the victim but overconfidence leads to arrogance which leads to stupid is stupid does. In my experience the only safe country on the. African continent is Ghana. I do however stand to be corrected.
We have been to South Africa 6 times. My wife goes out running in the morning (before I even wake up thankfully) everyday. Never had a problem. All cities have some risks. There are some suburbs in New York I wouldn’t go to. As well as in London, and Los Angeles.
I would feel safer in some areas of South Africa than I would in some areas of the US.
