I have not experienced it, myself, to be honest, but I see it on the news and social media (which in my opinion just fans the flames).......... SADLY most people abroad, like with ANY country's world news, only see and hear the negative....
I lived in the UK and EU for 2 years in the 90's, and I still would not want to live anywhere but Cape Town :)
I am really waiting to travel to Cape Town. I don't know why, but South Africa is calling me. I have my travel plan - Russia = > China => South Africa
It would be an absolute pleasure to assist you with your itinerary and routing!!
Cape Town is INCREDIBLE - so much to do and so many amazing sights and activities
