Crime depends with where you reside (just avoid Rustenburg), mode of transportation, hang-out joints and hangout crew (I take Amstel or Windhoek, Johnie Black
), SELF-DISCIPLINE etc.
I have never been a victim of any criminal activity neither have I experienced any xenophobic slurs. As far as power is concerned, its way better than Kenya. There are no cylindeR GASES and notification to the general public on an impending power outage is done to prepare you. No potholes, good roads, drivers are more organized, Electric train, BRT, good social amenities. Its better than Kenya.
Nice. I am suprised you say system are working - when electricity blackout and crime rampant.
Pundito I got Permanent Residence Permit so I had to go back. Its a better place to raise kids. The system is working. We started a consulting firm with some blacks and white south Africans and its doing well.
