I know a few South Africans (borned there and migrated to the US and some still living there), both black and white:
every single one of them has been the victim of a crime before: most often is the red traffic light robbery. They all told me you should not stop at a traffic light in a shady area.
They just want your money but if you fight back they'll take your lives.
Never been there but besides the beauty of the country, it must be a horrible place to live in.
dude gtfo.
