Mods please remove this if it is inappropriate.Ok, one of the things that I have done is search SW for the country I live in (South Africa) and I'm a bit dismayed at the negative perception of SA that pervades this place.First the crime - since this always crops up first. Yes crime is a problem. Us South Africans don't do ourselves any favours since all we do is bitch about it to anyone who listens. However if you take reasonable precautions things are fine. Most of the horrific stuff happens in the slums. However, go out in groups late at night. Stay out of dodgy areas, if you want to live here move into a secure housing complex in a good area.
About the cities. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. People are laid back. If you want to go on a working holiday, make some money, meet people and have a great time this is your destination.
