Unlike the gentleman I was responding to, I did not make a general statement about this being common in South Africa. It's not.

You should get out more and visit the Eastern CapeGqebePort Elizabeth - an almost daily occurrence.

Yet take those "hardcore" football fans and drop them into Durban central. Wouldn't last 10 minutes without crying for help and wetting themselves. South Africa is not for pansies.

The places I used to travel to work and back everyday, trains, walking through Warwick Junction, right down along Anton Lembede. Then back again every day. These "hard men" would **** themselves. But we Saffers do this every day without blinking.

Edit: There gangsters are everywhere right there in Town, all around you. Hard assed mofo's and itching for a robbery. You see all the school kids walking around after coming off of the trains. Some small kids like 8 years old walking through this. No fear. It's what we do on this tough continent.

Have a chat with the truck drivers. Especially those on the N3 in KZN.

Oh?

A gang dressed in police uniforms has attacked a coach-load of tourists, beating and robbing them just an hour after they landed at an airport in Johannesburg at the start of a three-week holiday.

Two of the Dutch group, which is thought to have been mostly comprised of pensioners, had guns pointed at their heads. In both cases, the weapons appear to have misfired.

In a separate incident, another bus went up in flames on Pretoria and Klein streets in Hillbrow on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after the Metrobus caught alight.

Johannesburg Metro Police Department spokesperson Xolani Fihla said: "The bus that burnt last night was a private bus and not from Metrobus, there were no injuries reported and the cause of it being burnt is unknown."

Covered.

He must not include us in his. The post should have read "This is common where I live, and maybe in KZN ( ). I'm used to it".

Also note my post did not imply South Africans are innocent. We have all types of mad people here, just not the entire country as someone suggested.

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment.

I'm not. I've never experienced it, nor know anyone who did. Only ever read about it

True, in all my years of bussing in refugees into the Independent Republic I have never encountered anything like this, I wouldn't say the reception was warm but It was always civil.
