South Africa has a population of 64 million people. Its per capita income is $6,200, ranking it about 100th in the world. South Africa has 70+ political parties. Imagine that! The African National Congress is the leading political party. The President is Cyril Ramaphosa. He represents the ANC party and has been in office as President since 2018. He has served in many executive leadership roles in SA since the mid 1990’s. He is a billionaire and has been involved in numerous scandals. See his picture below.
Cape Town is the capital of SA. That city has 5 million people, and it is ranked the 7th most dangerous city in the world. During the first 3 months of 2026, Cape Town recorded 6,000 murders. The city of Durban is ranked 9th most dangerous in the world. See map. Pietersburg is also ranked among the most dangerous cities of the world, same with the city of Pretoria.
According to some crime reporting organizations and data collection sites, South Africa has 5 of the world’s top ten most dangerous cities.
And sadly, most of the crimes are committed against “foreign nationals.” Seems there is little tolerance for outsiders.
