I reside in Durban, South Africa is a safe place to live provided you are not idle,anywhere and everywhere is safe for you live.I don't know why people like saying stupid things about a place is safe or not.Why dont you pack your things and jet out of the country then.As for me,SA is a very good place to live.Good and well maintained infrastructures,well maintained facilities.But you have to note this:ITS EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN S.A,If you'r coming here to Hustle,Buckle up your belt,Come here and make findings of what you want to invest in or do before coming, Trust no one here because there is no broda here in SA.All naija wants to extort the JJc, The locals are very good people and the only crime rate comitted by the Locals are theft.Phone snatching and robbing you off your belongings on street,Its so clear.This kind of thing happens all around the world, You must know where to stroll when it's dark night.
Just make sure you plan yourself better before coming,Its very hard for Foreigners to get jobs here except if you are Doctors or Nurses.So plan and think twice before coming here.Money doesnt grow on trees here and before you can make The Rands, It takes a whole lot of hard work,prayer and focus,
This place is 100% better than Naija, But dont be deceived by the Lights and Tall Buildings, I wish everyone coming here safe journey and Good Luck,
