    • Hey Guys , when driving around in JNB please make sure your doors are locked and that your hand bags , wallets or cellphones is not visible or laying around in the car.

    You will see people begging at the Traffic lights , becareful of them because I saw beggers smashing car windows and grabbing hand bags and running off. So please be careful.

    • MINIBUS taxis are by far the cheapest and most popular form of public transport in South Africa, used mainly by the urban and rural poor. But if you are a visitor to Johannesburg, using a taxi can prove bewildering and even frightening.

    One thing I want to point out to you guys is that they are the woarst people on the road. They don`t respect the rules of the road , they will stop anywhere at anytime to pickup or drop passangers. So please becareful when driving behind a taxi.

    • Hey guys as you all know , City Traffic. Well I must say the roads leading to and from JNB is very congestured during peak hour driving.

    Peak Hour is from 07h00 to 08h00 in the morning and from 16h00 to 18h00 in the afternoon but I recommend you only use the highways and main roads after 18h30. That time its not that busy cause most people seem to be at home by then.

    • Hillbrow is the Crime Capital of Johannesburg. This place is filled with legal & Illegal immigrants ranging from Nigerians , Zimbabweans an so forth. There is alot of Muggings , Robberies , Murders and Prostitution that takes place there.

    I Highly Recommend That You Stay Away from Hillbrow.
