German's murder only the third tourist death in SA in 27 years, country is safe - Sisulu

[daveza]

So, only 3 tourists murdered since 1994 then?

There may be some I am unaware of, you're welcome to point them out.

But let's err on the side of caution and make it a round number of 10 tourists murdered.

Over 28 years, 10 as a % of the total number of tourists ?

Compare that % to that of other countries ?

It's probably safer to visit here than to get on the plane that brings you.

Minus all the rape, theft and kidnapping that goes on, sure.

Do you have stats on tourists raped, mugged or kidnapped ?

Do you have stats on tourists raped, mugged or kidnapped ?

They probably don't exist.

No.

Would you tell a tourist from the Netherlands that they can behave exactly the way they do in Rotterdam? Don't bother locking your car, leave your bicycle unlocked outside a shop, if a person asks you for money, just open up your wallet in front of them.

 

[daveza]

They probably don't exist.

Then we have nothing to support the claim that tourists are raped, mugged or kidnapped.

If we want to exclaim our righteous indignation at Sisulu's comment, we at least need some facts in opposition surely.

Facts, not feels.

How many tourist plane crashes have we had since 1994 in SA? I still think murders>crashes....

Again, hardly a random tourist planning on seeing the sights.

Come on, this is getting silly.

We can't provide evidence of more tourists killed that can be counted on one hand, yet we have some claiming half the tourists who arrive never make it back home.

Is there a "tourist" check box on the form?

 

[Vrotappel]

The number of 3 is a lie. Prove me wrong.

 

[daveza]

Is there a "tourist" check box on the form?

It's probably called origin or place of residence.

This latest murder has been headlined on almost every platform so it's hardly likely tourists would be murdered without it making the media.

No, they are local foreigners.

Now who's making assumptions.
