Hassner - just reading your second to last post.  Sounds like a rough neighborhood!  If you go on walk, will most leave you alone?

Like any city, you get your rough neighborhoods.

Most of us live behind high fences (some electrified) and electronic gates.
The fashion here lately is fenced security villages.
Farms are easy targets and farm murders were very high.
A #StopFarmMurders campaign made the figures drop, specially after a foreign journalist asked our president about farm murders, but he denied that it happened. It started a huge controversy in the press and social media. 

I walk with my camera on the street daily for my work and never had a problem. Even in the dodgy areas. But I am 6’4”, so I believe they think twice. Also, I look wake up, ready for surprises. 

My wife was car jacked (Car Highjacked) in front of the home garage 10 years ago.
When she refused to get into the car with them, she fell on the ground. The first kicked her blue before they fled off with her car. Lots of YouTube videos of such incidences for you to google.

Yep, and I'm sure this effects tourism that otherwise would help out legit small businesses there.

Pinkie, farmers further north all carry fire arms on their farm. 
It is mostly about cattle theft. 
As I said, it depends where you are. 
Tourist are not aware of the high crime here, although I have heard of tour busses that was held up, took all money and phones.
