Come on lpokijuhyt! Thats pretty gloomy. Things are really not that bad. When last were you in a taxi? There are a lot of locals going to games. Ticket prices just came down to about R140 (I think). Sure there are lots of naive tourists, but thats the case all over the world. Its certainly not going to be crime free, but where in the world is? I dont think I am being naive, I think most of the locals are feeling pretty positive (and I am a local too). Hope you are pleasantly surprised
