Horrifying Terror



Wondering about what am going to talk? Ok lemme explain and share what’s going on..Am going to share about the safety issues in South Africa,it doesn't mean all the other countries are safe. I felt less freedom over here than India and Germany(as far I have visited). Everyday newspaper tells you crimes and robbery going on near by area(off course our Indian newspaper shows similar stories (sorry incidents)).

Here am listing out what not to do here for safety-wise

1. First and foremost thing is you can't walk in the road,its like taking risk of your belongings and if u r woman then u have to consider yourself. Any time anyone from the bush or car can attack or keep you in gun point,take away all the things they want.

2. So do I mean car is safety-yes as no better mode of transportation like bus or train but heard lot of stories of car-hijacking too. Keep your eyes in all the directions to keep away from the eyes watching you.

3. I recently read a news,a family stopped in a highway to exchange their groceries to another car,in a quick span of time 3 people came from a nearby bush with Ak-47.One guy got into the car where all the things were shifted and took away, and the other two guys got into car and asked them to drive. So sad,those family members were pleading for their lives to those heartless creatures. They were reading to pay any amount of money for their lives,convinced them and took to the ATM centre,paid. They dropped them in the middle of highway with no money,car and cell phone...how bad isn't it.

    4. ATM centre-a place where you got to be very careful. This incident happened in front of my eyes,a person was trying to take money out of ATM,but he was having some trouble with the machine. A guy with decent clothes came and offered to help,he just took out ATM card and wiped in his shirt(inside where all the details about the card will be stored ) inserted the card in the machine(somehow got the pin no too) and fled away. Here he goes to another ATM centre and takes all the money with his fake card. Luckily that person came to know about this trick,immediately called his bank operator to block his card. Many other tricks taking place to grab the money.

    5. Home Burglary-which is common thing taking place here,no matter how secured the Estate or house with Alarms or security. These all happens because of the absent minded or ignorance of keeping doors and windows open.

6. Car lock-Check your car whether you have locked it properly even though you use remote locking button. Some people open when they are far away,quickly the culprit gets into the car from other side of the car before them and puts them into gun point.
Once i saw kept his car keys in the car door itself by absence,its like tempting thief to come and steal my car,so be careful folks.


7. Internet Scam-As the technology improves,the crimes too. Creating Fake holiday resorts where many people pay deposit and gets cheated. Or getting high money for low grade rooms. So its better to go through reviews and many sites before you reserve it.             
             
                  I guess I have listed most of them,so be prepared before you visit this place. If your cautious then you are safe. Otherwise South Africa is a beautiful eco-friendly country with wonderful landscapes,best climate all the year,well maintained game reserves,perfect roads and rules all over the country.

    I am really curious - when you know there could be people popping outta bush wiht a Ak-47 anytime, how are you able to go out for groceries/work/go out etc? You indeed seem to have sop much fun there though :)

    1. @shiva..its not like everyday crime happens..for eg.,In india day time robbery and murder takes place in many houses or
      Apartment..it doesn't mean its not safe to be alone @home..the same here,not safe to walk in the roads rather we normally
      travel in car and go for shopping(crowded places are always safer) or work and tourist places are more safer.
