Is It Safe? Robbed by Knife in Cape Town on Day 1

If you're like most people, Africa in general is a pretty foreign land to you. And you might be thinking of visiting Cape Town in South Africa, but are concerned with whether it is safe, considering that a lot of folks have heard about the crime levels in the city.

We spent about a week and a half in Cape Town, and we can tell you that the tourist parts you plan to visit are indeed safe. We can also tell you, after talking with many locals, that the city bowl downtown area is not what we'd call safe.

Cape Town - The most Dangerous City in Africa

Welcome to Cape Town, the chill city! Mostly recognized for its natural beauty, it is located in South Africa’s south west coast. This port city is blessed with several beaches. Its most renowned feature, Table Mountain, is a popular tourist destination. While in Cape Town, you can go surfing while also seeing penguins! The city is filled with a diverse mix of cultures, delicious food, and a great deal of history.
However, Cape Town will easily pass as the most dangerous city in Africa. The beaches which should have been a blessing of some sort to people are not a place you can go freely without the fear of crime. Incessant occurrence of theft, mugging, assault, carjacking, and gang violence has defined Cape Town as an unsafe city. This has been exacerbated by poverty, which is most often the root cause of these crimes. The overlap of generations has made it difficult for the country to completely obliterate the trace of apartheid.
No wonder Cape Town was the 11th most hazardous city in the world on a list compiled by the United Nations Development Program. The South African government always deploys troops in specific regions to combat crime in areas where there are violent killings by gangs. According to the local news source Inca, approximately 2000 homicides occurred in the city between November 2018 and May 2019.
Now, you may wonder whether it’s safe at all to travel to Cape Town. We are giving you an in-depth insider guide that’ll aid you in making your decision. We've done the research for you, just relax and stay with us.
Okay, let’s get right to it!
What is the level of safety in Cape Town?
Cape Town is the most populated place in South Africa. It’s also the city with the highest documented rates of murder, robbery, and non-violent property-related crimes. That’s what makes it the most dangerous city in Africa. The following are some crimes that visitors should be aware of before embarking on a journey to the city:
 Petty theft
 Criminals impersonating the police
 Street beggars and pickpockets
 ATM and credit card theft
 Apartment or tour guide scams
Tourists appear to be the primary victims of these incidents. Nevertheless, locals must contend with drug-related crimes, murders, and gang violence, among others.
Despite this negative image, Cape Town remains a tourist attraction. The whole Western Cape area of South Africa is well-traveled, welcoming over 3 million tourists annually.
