6 times as many murders per capita than the U.S.

". . .police chiefs saying they need at least 62,000 more officers."

Something needs to be done there, I can't imagine living under those conditions.

You still may be able to. (Assuming their purity spiral doesn't continue.)

It's not beyond fixing, it's not cartel level infestation.

I wonder how high crime and or physical and verbal assaults are in South Africa.

Murders are one thing, but say petty crime or physical assault or abuse would suck for tourists visiting too

I know someone there who says there's always at least 6 serial killers on the loose at one time. He says the prisons are good enough to contain them

I mean its not all that surprising. There are still large areas where people are living in slums, and even in the cities there are still a good amount of people living in poverty or homeless.

You'd probably be safe in the recommended tourist spots. It would be best to someone you trust who knows the layout well though. It is relatively dangerous.

Well racism in South Africa is going away, so the murder rate should be going down

I was more wondering if he was involved with anything French in some way since an (I assume) English speaker who mainly watches France24 is pretty unique


I have it in English, I also watch NHK and BBC World news. That is all we get for foreign English news.
