According to a survey for the period 1998–2000 compiled by the United Nations, South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita.[8] One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year.[9] More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person.[10][11] Three out of four who admitted rape attacked for the first time during their teens

Ah another person comparing SA to wartorn parts of Africa.

It's like comparing the UK to the corruption in eastern europe.

Are you implying that South Africa is a safe place to go?

Define safe?

My cousin and her husband were telling me recently about their trip to SA.

They stayed for a few nights with pals. Lovely house, lots of land, even servants quarters!

Oh, and a bloke with a shotgun in a guard hut at the entrance to the estate...
