They are no people in SA then can spell.

This is South Africa, so not safe anywhere really.

The fact that my neighbours haven’t robbed me yet is amazing, and frankly, a little bit insulting. It’s as if they think I don’t have nice things.

Some of the areas deemed as orange (Hillbrow) or blue is questionable. Wouldn't read much into that

You need to learn how to be more flashy

Pretty accurate for our suburb and surrounding suburbs which have regular house break ins, phone snatching and anything with a Toyota badge is fair game...

2003 - present >> only one home invasion. Schweeeeet.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Haha, let's see who can get the highest number.

 

[Nerfherder]

They don't average it out based on population density so its mostly useless.

 

[Steamy Tom]

lol these stats for my area and sorrounding are completely flawed

 

[Agent_Smith]

I'll also refrain from pointing out the irony of Robben Eiland's high propensity for crime...

 

[Scooby_Doo]

I would like to see the data normalised for population density. Obviously more people means more interactions.

Is it ironic that KZN is relatively peaceful? Or are the police so bad that they just don't record any reports of crime?

 

[Creag]

Skukuza looks like a nice safe area. I guess I am moving there

So much of this is perception; for example I quite often steal from my neighbours yet I've never had anyone steal from me. So from my point of view my neighbourhood is pretty safe.

 

[ForceFate]

They just is no safe place in SA, its a simple matter of when is it your turn to get robbed/scammed

Some places are far safer than others. So safe that old folks live alone without any worry. As I indicated in my previous comment, it's the proliferation of drugs that threaten these places.

You'd be surprised.

Someone said, if u stop watching news, you will be healthy

That's before the Philips Airfryer was discovered.

Nobody trusts the police here anymore, so just does their own thing and doesn't really report crime.

I think the only time I report anything is for insurance purposes, otherwise why am I going to waste my time?
