Cape Town Warning or Danger Tips by cosmopolit

Basically as anywhere else. Be streetsmart, don't flash jewlery or wads of money. Don't let conmen fool you. All of my friends there have experienced an incident sometime be it just pickpocketing or robbery at point-blank. If you have a car there'll be the selfelected guards who 'help' you find parking by directing you into a space you found yourself anyway. As you leave the car they'll ask for money. It's strongly recommended to hand over up to R5 or so unless you want to find your car scratched or bumped. If it's a rental car think of what your waiver covers it might be worthwile to pay!
