is south africa a safe place for a girl to travel around?

I'm sure Paris is find roaming around South Africa.

ive never been to SA, but try to stay in the tourist area. i have alot of friends from SA and they say some non-tourists areas are dangerous, like any other country would.

No it is not, you cannot go it alone you would need to be in company. a girl on her own is a target and you will get raped.

Yes just arm your self with pepper spray, a stun gun, Doom, a steel chastity belt (put the key in the hotel's safety deposit box), don't wear any mini skirts (because taxi drivers abhor mini's) and don't wear any jewelery or a handbag.

NO .NEVER ..dont even try.

Take your revolver and you will be okay.

firstly...is any country safe for a women to walk around alone in??

so answer would be....NO.
Especially not with the statistics of rape and murder in this country.
Never travel alone if you are a women...it is just not safe. Anywhere :(

If you tell me when you are arriving, I will send a group of war veterans to escort you in their Land Rover. Do not be frightened - their Kalashnikovs are just simple souvenirs, and they do not shoot them at people very often any more. Just when some whitey refuses to leave his farm, but you yourself have nothing to fear.

South Africa is the crime capital of the world so it is not safe for you, you cannot tour alone and you will definitely need to be accompanied. A girl on her own is a definite target.
