Crime was always going to be significant in South Africa when you have such a large gap between the rich and the poor.

You have massive slums of people with no hope or future less than a 100 miles/kms away from the billion dollar French Riviera esque lifestyles of Camps Bay.

And with so many refugees coming in from the rest of Africa it almost seems like an unsolvable problem.

For sure.

I guess it comes down to your risk appetite.

In South Africa you the most gorgeous landscapes that are freely accessible public landscapes on everyone's doorstep - irrespective of their financial position in the steadily recovering historically unequal society.

Yeah, there will continue to be crime until balance is had, but there are plenty SaaS opportunities, and the forested cliff-side hiking trails ending in tranquil beaches are an awesome way to experience nature.

Refugees are welcome in South Africa. The media has its paws in everything.
