But what you describe is so limiting, because you're forced in the one area. What if I want to leave the area and go for a road trip? Would I be safe travelling to the rest of South Africa, if there is crime, blackouts and a lack of water?

In Australia I can safely travel to anywhere within the country.

Where do you live btw? Would be interesting to research, happy to look into it more.

Not limiting at all, you can travel pretty much everywhere safety. The crime ridden areas are usually crammed into small spaces. Poor people in SA are pushed into tiny areas. Lots of tourists come here to drive around and go 4x4-ing and so on. I'm near Cape Town.

Yeah, fair enough. Thanks for your time, I'll look into it!
