Are tourists afraid of South Africa?   

I hear it a lot, even when I'm just at geography class,
if you would go alone with a friend, the risk is high that you would get attacked, if you looked a bit rich to them. But it is possible that it are all just rumors, except for the ones that come in the news etc, but perhaps those are just like the ones in our countries... There are always some people exagerating, act without thinking, perhaps it's those who give South Africa a bad name as well. I myself wouldn't go there alone either though...

Have a nice day mklegg!

I guess things will be alittle unknown and unsettle in South Africa this coming June. If everything goes smoothly, it will go a long way in establishing South Africa's reputation in organizing a big global event. However, with terrorist group threatening to attack during the World Cup period, I only hope that the security will do their best. An attack in the World Cup will be have a devastating effect throughout the whole world.

i think many tourist didnt afraid when see the big events, world cup. many party unite to give insurance about safety
