South Africa is facing heightened scrutiny due to a significant rise in violent crime, leading countries like Canada to issue travel warnings urging extreme caution for its citizens. Violent incidents such as armed robberies, carjackings, and kidnappings are pervasive, particularly worsening after dark in city centers and townships. Other nations, including the United States, Australia, and China, have also raised concerns regarding safety, with warnings about assaults and the targeting of specific groups such as foreign nationals and LGBTQ+ individuals. In 2025, South Africa’s murder rate has surged, with police attributing the violence to illegal firearms, exacerbating the nation’s alarming crime crisis.

LGBTQ is rare in our country ,but the crime is high .
We in south africa know the rules, 1st world people don't:
* Never stop at a stop street at night if there are no other cars
* Never stop at home if a car followed you for a while
* Lock your home throughout the WHOLE day
* Don't go "for a walk" in cities, or even suburban areas if there are squatter camps nearby
* In fast food places, if someone bumps into you or talks to you out of nowhere, they are going to pickpocket you (that happened to me)
* The hard truth: If you are white, dress normally or well, YOU ARE a target. Don't flash, don't draw attention
* At the airport DO NOT accept transport from the many people advertising there. Use UBER or family and friends
* Do NOT go to ANY active place, club or bar, in city areas UNLESS you stay with a crowd or have many people going with you
We all know the US will always throw shade at SA, and we all know that the US media are liars when it comes to africa
Ramaphosa is to busiy taking Israeli to court for false genocide accusations while he has his own genocide happening i in South Africa 😢
Corruption is rife in South Africa, from the ministers to the police. Greed and the love for money has crippled our country.

South Africa Police are the ones who's conducting high crime, they collect money from illigal store owners
Also from SA, definitely unsafe and a lot of bad things happening here. Criminals and crimes are almost rewarded and it’s just getting worse the longer the ANC is ruling
Funny tourism is booming, since this this accusations where made, everyone what to see for themselves is crime and genocide is really happening because there are two conflicting narratives on social media's, speed was here and other eye witnesses tell different stories 😂😂😂
Our crime levels are truly insane and politicians do not give a hoot!!! Innocent people get killed and life just goes on…It is sooooo sooo much worse if you are a woman
You wouldn't pay me to go there…
It's sad that this beautiful country Nelson Mandela wanted to build is sinking into chaos once again.
LoooooL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 right after they kicked out the representative of a specific country
Its very true. South Africa is just not worth visiting. The country has been gripped with severe crime
