According to the Medical Research Council in June 2009, 25% of South African males have raped at least once. 33% of females have been raped. S. Africa has the highest incidences of child and baby rape. Many S. Africans believe that they can get rid of the AIDS virus by raping virgins.
S. Africa has the 2nd highest murder rates in the world, and they have highest rates of rape. Murder, rape, robberies, and carjackings happen frequently to tourists.
@TranCendenZ You must be just be a hater of South Africans. Sorry this is one of the best world cup games I've ever been to! Very few really bad incidents happened. This is one of the most beautiful country in the country on the planet. Sorry mr racist, you lose!!
@amasonga Why did you call me a racist? I just stated FACTS. I did not state an opinion on anything. Why are you saying that I lose? Your comments don't even make any sense. You're an idiot.
Because people like me warned the tourists about the dangers, the tourists avoided traveling alone, avoided the non-tourist areas where there isn't security, and avoided dark areas.
Jittery foreign visitors, who include diplomats, celebrities and wealthy businessmen are scrambling to secure personal bodyguards for the World Cup spectacle, the Sunday Times reported on Saturday.
@DaSlug32 I don't even need to find any more information to disqualify that statement because it disqualifies itself. the Sunday Times on Saturday?????
Most governments in the world are corrupt and have blood on their hands, just about all the leaders in Africa are war lords so there isn't much choice.
U S voted for George W Bush even after they went into Iraq for the oil, were at least 20 leaders as bad or worse than Sadam but no oil. e.g. North Korean president, President Mcgarbie, Fiji been overthrown by the military, Russia slaughted Georgia, China killed female babies not so long ago, Japan bound girls feet so they stayed tiny etc but America did nothing. U S supported the Taliban & sold them weapons to fight Russia when they had control of Afganistan & sold weapons to both Iraq & Iran.
It's not American peoples fault as they were brain washed & media was largely one sided. You think sep 11 was caused by some guy in a cave ? As if a plane could dive into the pentagon without radar warning ! Or 4 planes going in the same direction towards world trade centre without being noticed, as if that many planes are all going to have Arab born American pilots flying at the same time in the same city.
Why is Binladins son alive & well in england and they know exactly where he is without capturing him ? as if the trade centre built for natural disasters would crumble like that from planes. Also if they really thought Binladin was hiding in a cave they would have sent troops and planes there.
They elected George Bush for the second running in office after he attacked Afghanistan and Iraq for the allerged 'Weapons of Mass Distruction' that were never found.
By the way...what does Zuma have to do with he world cup. You cleary sound like those so called South Africans who think their own country doesnt deserve to host the world cup. Sies!!
S.A. has a right to host the World Cup. No country in the world has a 100% 'safe house'. You or anyone else has a right to deny them. Everything is a world stage. You either get on the stage and act.....watch the show.....or you retreat to your own space and do neither. Every country in the world deserves the same.
People must realise that 90% of the crime that happens in South Africa is located in townships. Visitors won't be anywhere near townships (or any crime hotspots) unless they want to take a guided tour (which is very safe). Our crime is indeed bad, but don't let the crime stats fool you. World cup visitors will be safe, just as long as they don't go wondering into dangerous areas.
Why dont u mention the mall robberies that have been happening lately where people have been murdered (which are not in the poor areas)?
And if the non-poor areas are so safe, answer this for me, why do people have high walls around there houses, with burglar bars and electric fences? (and even these safety precautions dont work)
Just because a country has socio economic problems that causes an exodus, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't have the right to host the world's biggest party. Same goes for Brazil, and by the same logic, Argentina shouldn't host it either.
If our crime is so bad, then why are whe still one of the best tourist destinations in the world !? You people are just looking for reasons to talk bad about SA, do us a favour and stay away from our country ! you do not deserve to experience our counrty !
As an SA/UK dual national in England there are HEAPS of Ozzies here to escape the boredom (and Asians) in Oz :o) ! This is SA's Big Fresh Start..nobody said it wld be easy...gonna be the best World Cup ever...Viva South Afrika Viva ... One World,One Chance,Fair Play.Peace.Yer Aboes no longer fight back they're sadly all too drunk or high on petrol with depression.Good job mate....and no you can't have the World Cup,you don't deserve it :o) !!!
you should be ashamed of having our country in your name.
SA has already played a World Cup and they've been African champions before. Ever hear of Mark Fish, he was playing in Europe years ago. Please do research before you embarass us by posting with our country's name.
should be a good world cup, hope the refs are not too much against england as they are normaly are- and before anyone mentions geof hursts goal, the equaliser that took the game into extra time was offside
They really know how to show the best parts of that country, it's a big oportunity not only for SA, it's the chance for the whole African continent, to show the world they're capable to organize such a big tournament.... if the small organizational problems of the Confederations Cup are solved, we'll enjoy an amazing World Cup;)
I had a teacher that told me he lived in SA. I asked him about the crime rate and he said,"there's crimes everywhere, not just SA." and he said,"no it won't affect the World Cup." I believe he's right and SA is a beautiful place to play football. I cannot wait till next year...
Here is a fun fact released by the EU just a few days ago!!
Statistics compiled by the European Commission indicate that Britain(2007 study) had 2 034 violent crimes for 100 000 people, compared to South Africa's 1 609 for 100 000!! Britain is in fact, the MOST violent country in the world!!
Official statistics are manipulated to allow the world cup to continue.
My experience from close friends and relatives (around 100 people) is 3 murders, 1 rape, 7 violent house invasions, 2 car-jackings. That is 13 violent crimes out of a 100 people or expressed per 100,000 people that is 13,000. Which is much worst than even Iraq.
Almost any SA person you talk to will know one or more people personally which have been effected by crime.
Ha Ha south Africa is a Democracy ( LOL) not like China. The Western media campaigned against Beijing games cuz of "human rights", Tibet..blah blah...but they Failed. Beijing games was a success. western media won't campaigned against South AFrica cuz its a democarcy,, peace nobel laureates Mandela, desmond tutu.. ha ha ha.. Lets see in 2010.
England is full of heaps of Ozzies escaping the boredom in Oz ,while yer Abos drink & sniff petrol to kill their anger & depresssion.Good job mate.This is SA's Big Fresh Start - nobody said it wld be easy.Viva South Afrika Viva.Gonna be the BEST World Cup Ever...and the SA diaspora will suppport every minute of it's success.One World,One Chance ...and no you guys can't have the world cup,there is no plan B - you smply don't deserve it o) !!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
SA is the LAST country to deserve hosting a world cup. They elected a president with over 600 charges of corruption, cheated on his 5 wives with a woman he knew was HIV positive and still didnt use a condom. and only has a grade 5 education
Yes crime is everywhere but in SA there is way more violent crime than other countries. There arent many countries where people have burglar bars, high walls around there houses, and electric fencing, those things are very common in SA. and even if you have them you are still scared!
I dont agree at all. You go anywhere in the world, people put some sort of security measures to protect their assets...high walls, buglar bars, electric fencing. It's just that SA caught the media's attention with its violent crimes in the past and that has unfortunately 'stuck' into peoples' minds. SA is not the safest country in the world I agree....but is also not as bad as potrayed in the media out there,.
I've been around mate....Jamaica, Bolivia, Peru, US, Malta in Europe, Sweden and Azerbaijan.
I work for an International Civil Engineering firm and have been to almost every country we've got big project on.
As I said earlier on....SA is not the safest country in the world due to its history, poverty and other social attributes, but also not as violent and full of crime as potrayed in the media.
Mate,I have lived in the UK for eight years now and after watching your video I have just been reminded of how great our country is.I just want to say thanks,great video great energy and a great World Cup for sure!
yeah, whats with all the white people???? this clip is too inviting and foreign friendly.... please, at least show one dead person, or at the very least, someone with a very big scar on his face. preferably an elderly lady. she can be black, or white,hell, who cares ????? JUST GIVE THEM SCARS!!!!!!!! Scars for everyone!!
I love ur video LASEGO...this video makes me think about what will happen at SA...maybe a not so strong team will prevail and get themselves to the top...I mean I love all the tough teams like Spain Italy Brazil and so fourth...but I believe somthin extraordinary will happen...and no other place would be better in my mind than a beautiful place like South Africa...
Only certain parts are dangerous for tourists and there'll be lots of police & security around. Not sure Egypt would be a great choice. Yes the fans & stadiums are great but what about terrorism (Luxor massacre)?
I wonder if you feel happy now that you've given your two cents. If you think you're going to get raped, robbed and murdered, then don't come. If you're ready for the biggest celebration of football and shared humanity ever on the African continent, then be our guests. Everything will be ready on time, it's for you to decide if you want to be a part of it.
I wonder how many people will be raped, robbed and/or murdered when the world cup takes place? If they get everything ready on time, I have my doubts...
dont worry. south africa is the country with 4peace nobel laureates and has the support of Dalai lama. south africa is the showcase of human rights and democracy. dont worry come. ppl are friendly here. there are no communists and dictators here
This video made me tear. I relocated to America in 1997 and when I watch this video it reminds me how beautiful ZA is. But the only thing thats stopping me from returning is all the corruption, crime and violence.
babess you post menoupausal wanker. SA is gonna be great!!! great people, great venue , awesomeness!
come on people dont listen to all the negative talk. SA will make it work just like the 1995 RWC.
trots suid afrikaans!!!!!
maybe she has sour grapes because she left Mzanzi to go and live in some other shithole without Lions Zebras open plains biltong castle Springbok rugby vuvuzelas eliphants the Kruger park 2000km beaches forests desert mountains springbokkies giraffe just to name a few!
Listen darling! does your mommy know you eat with that mouth? by the way it is butt with an extra "t". and seeing as I am old why don't you try make me? South Africa sucks, you suck and all your little kaffir buddies suck
Feel free to make contact should you want to know more TRUTH about our beautiful country in connection with the 2010 Fifa World Cup, its going to be great :)
There is a difference between being negative and being realistic.
I do hope that 2010 will succeed, but be honest, do you feel safe walking around at night, do you even feel safe in your own home at night? Most people in SA dont thats why they have high walls around their houses, and lately thats not enough so many people now have to have electric fences as well.
How can we expect tourists to feel safe when we dont even feel safe?
i think you should ask amnesty international and human rights watch of 'free tibet" to campaign in favour of south africa mundial. Atter their vain effort in campaignining against Beijing Olympics, they have now time to this time SUPPORT southa africa a democratic country and adopting western human rights. Also ...nelson mandela the peace nobel laureate....... LOL
HAHAHAHA! there are shootouts between the police and armed thugs in SA nowadays in broad daylight. There has been nothing done about the crime at all. So all you ignorant soccer fans go there........it might be the last thing you ever do.
AHH SHAME! guess what you not here in SA now, so you cant speak. As a South Africa who did not runaway, im glad and totally excited for the upcoming times. I cant wait for when the world see's SA shinning and you and others who try and spread your negativity about our beautiful country is proven wrong! 2010 SOUTH AFRICA IS GOING TO BE GREAT!
I wouldn't go to africa , they should've done it somewhere in europe where it's safe and more comfortable atmosphere for everyone , I dont have any problem with SA so no flame please, but I wanted to go to world cup very much , when I found out it will be Africa , I'm not so happy.
Stop being sop negative! come visit for 2010 you wont regret it! I assure you, as a south African you will have a great time. We always have people coming to visit from places like USA, Canada, UK and they always speak about the great times they had, and many are coming for 2010.
I'm polling for every african country except Egypt. If there will be a march between the Egyptians and the English or the French, I'll poll for the Europeans. FUCK EGYPT
all the african teams will do well as they will be able to handle the heat. the England team complained of the heat in portugal and that was 35c. can someone tell me how hot it gets in south africa
Of course it's hot now you incredible idiot it's their summertime. I've been in July and it was ok but not that hot. A bit like a typical English summer i.e. around 65-70 degrees. Trust me the heat will not be problem.
I love ur video LASEGO...this video makes me think about what will happen at SA...maybe a not so strong team will prevail and get themselves to the top...I mean I love all the tough teams like Spain Italy Brazil and so fourth...but I believe somthin extraordinary will happen...and no other place would be better in my mind than a beautiful place like South Africa...
For any and all negative fuckin dickheads...hold your drivel for yourself and stay AWAY from SA...nobody needs your types, we will feed you to our lions... We want REAL human beings to visit our gorgeous land...and welcome to you...VIVA AFRICA to WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
omg the world cup is near cuz next summer south africa would let the world they are prepared and the final draw will take place also next year of december YEY
This is a huge undertaking the South Africans are embarking on right now. Just with the stadia themselves, they would represent a giant leap in terms of investment in and completion of major projects in a developing country. Add in the infrastructure works and you'll have an idea of what they intend to do.
The country may look radically different four years from now.
I agreed with you, I dont think the ambient would be the same than where the football (and not soccer like they call football there) is passion in other countries
wont be the same, you dont know anything about SA and our SOCCER history. so before you wana come talk about how we not passionate and the ambient not being right, get your facts straight.
Thats what you think! that's such an uneducated and narrow minded ting to say, you don't even give reason for what are saying. well whether you think its a mistake or not its too late.
sorry nothing against SAF but to be quite realistic SAF is too far from europe asia or america plus highest crime rate in the world , highest HIV country in the world , aqnd rape against women are very high as you know no one would feel safe 2go to SAF plus in summer time it would be rainy and cold and the country can't deliver stadiums on time one had to be cancelled plus the infrastructure all these reasons ain't good enough i think north african country would be better choice like EGY OR MOR.
People traveled to JAPAN and KOREA to see the 2002 world cup. You are fucking far off with the crime and HIV, as well as infrastructure. South Africa's overall infrastructure is way more advanced than that of many latin american countries that have already hosted the tournament (Mexico, Chile, Brazil). You are only a reflection of the world's stupid and unfounded negativity towards Africa, and I expect you to eat your words by June 11, 2010. Good day.
What do you know about Brazil, asshole? Shut the fuck up. You should wash your mouth before saying the word Brazil. SA 2010 was clearly a mistake. Recently a man who pointed out evidences of corruption was murdered. God bless those who dare going there watch this World Cup.

I've been around mate....Jamaica, Bolivia, Peru, US, Malta in Europe, Sweden and Azerbaijan.
I work for an International Civil Engineering firm and have been to almost every country we've got big project on.
As I said earlier on....SA is not the safest country in the world due to its history, poverty and other social attributes, but also not as violent and full of crime as potrayed in the media.

What about the statistics that are far worse than what the media report? How many of the murders are reported on the news every night?

I wonder if you feel happy now that you've given your two cents. If you think you're going to get raped, robbed and murdered, then don't come. If you're ready for the biggest celebration of football and shared humanity ever on the African continent, then be our guests. Everything will be ready on time, it's for you to decide if you want to be a part of it.

There is a difference between being negative and being realistic.
I do hope that 2010 will succeed, but be honest, do you feel safe walking around at night, do you even feel safe in your own home at night? Most people in SA dont thats why they have high walls around their houses, and lately thats not enough so many people now have to have electric fences as well.
How can we expect tourists to feel safe when we dont even feel safe?

i think you should ask amnesty international and human rights watch of 'free tibet" to campaign in favour of south africa mundial. Atter their vain effort in campaignining against Beijing Olympics, they have now time to this time SUPPORT southa africa a democratic country and adopting western human rights. Also ...nelson mandela the peace nobel laureate....... LOL

This is a huge undertaking the South Africans are embarking on right now. Just with the stadia themselves, they would represent a giant leap in terms of investment in and completion of major projects in a developing country. Add in the infrastructure works and you'll have an idea of what they intend to do.
The country may look radically different four years from now.

sorry nothing against SAF but to be quite realistic SAF is too far from europe asia or america plus highest crime rate in the world , highest HIV country in the world , aqnd rape against women are very high as you know no one would feel safe 2go to SAF plus in summer time it would be rainy and cold and the country can't deliver stadiums on time one had to be cancelled plus the infrastructure all these reasons ain't good enough i think north african country would be better choice like EGY OR MOR.

People traveled to JAPAN and KOREA to see the 2002 world cup. You are fucking far off with the crime and HIV, as well as infrastructure. South Africa's overall infrastructure is way more advanced than that of many latin american countries that have already hosted the tournament (Mexico, Chile, Brazil). You are only a reflection of the world's stupid and unfounded negativity towards Africa, and I expect you to eat your words by June 11, 2010. Good day.
