Every day millions of South Africans walk in the street and don’t die.
The touristy areas are safer than elsewhere. There isn’t just random non stop killing in the streets.
- Mandatum 5y agoThe intentional homicide rate is 7x USA’s.. Which is 7x my country’s (52x). Sounds dangerous.
- david38 5y agoBy this stupid statement, if 1% of the population was killed every day, you could still say it is safe for a while. Safe doesn’t just mean “not killed”. There are many kinds of victimization.
- disruptthelaw 5y agoBy your logic if 0.000000001% of the population was killed while going for walks each day you could say going for a walk was literally risking your life. Obviously these things operate on a scale and I’m not saying that there is zero risk. I was addressing your hyperbolic binary view of things. Saying that going for a walk in South Africa is risking your life is complete nonsense. Source: I’ve lived in Johannesburg (most “dangerous” city in SA) for 30 years and have been an avid walker for most of these. In fact I “risked my life” for an hour just this afternoon, it was lovely.
