[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 981077, member: 40658"] Well I've never been mugged or robbed on the street or on the highway or anything like that. But then again I tend to stay on the main roads, only stop at the branded petrol stations and don't pull off next to the road, unless I have car trouble. With all these venues, you can easily stay on the main highways, the N1, N2, N3 and N4. If you stay out of the townships, and the CBD of the cities, you should be okay. In all honesty, I think the biggest chance of getting mugged or robbed is on your way to the stadium. if you walk in some of the more scary parts of town especially Joburg and Durban. My suggestion would be to use the shuttle/bus services they should implement for the travelling fans to the stadium, as well as uber/taxify to drop you off as close to the stadium as possible. Plus, being in groups and keeping an eye out of your surroundings is always a handy motivator for the opportunist thief to rather try someone else. I would also suggest you don't keep a lot of cash on you. Most places in SA have card machines and accepts Visa and Mastercard. Plus most petrol stations have an ATM machine to draw cash should you need it. The thing is most of these thieves look for soft targets with the wallets or cellphones easily accessible for them to grab. if you keep it in your pocket, or under clothing, you should be fine.
