Just don't go there. I grew up there and won't go back, for one
major reason: the violent crime.
Just read this before thinking of going there:

There are much nicer and safer countries to visit in the world.
(Someone has tried to claim that the murder rate was higher in the run up to 1994. Yes it would have been: the ANC mobs were murdering 'their own people' to subdue them -- remember their 'necklaces'? There was also a huge amount of violence between 'anti-apartheid' factions trying to gain the upper hand. But none of that 'excuses' the appalling murder rate now and the dismal failure of the ANC government to control it. On the "Crimewatch" programme on UK TV several years ago, to put people's minds at rest after a programme about crime, the comment was made that "Most people [in Britain] don't know someone who knowns someone who knows someone who has been involved in a violent crime". By contrast, most people in South Africa know someone who knows someone who has been murdered.)
Stay away. Or if you have to go there, like this BA crew, don't budge out of your secure hotel.
