      I was petrified of Joburg, not because of anything I actually saw or experienced, but due to the endless horror stories from people who lived there. It is a strange place.

      I did have a bizarre but enjoyable day out at Sun City and Pilanesberg.

        Fly to Capetown and work remotely from Clifton or Camps Bay!

        Joburg is quite cr*p( unless you like concrete jungles ). Mind you I think Sandton is OK. Sandton City is one of largest shopping centers and lots of 5 star hotels. Sun City perhaps.


        Other than that stay indoors in the evenings, be wary at traffic lights.

        Wish you luck .... weather-wise this time of the year be still a bit cool between 16-20

            Why is Joburg so dangerous anyway?
            Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

              Racial and social tension.

              Try the "Ask Beaker thread"!!!

                Because a lot of people rob and kill each other all the time.

                    It's a bit like the Hotel California...

                      1) Because the shanty towns are closer to city centre. Its not as spread out as CPT??

                      2) Alot of money flying around and flashy cars, houses so the common man is attracted to rob. High unemployment amongst locals.
