I have lived in Durban for almost 50 years and have been minimally impacted by crime. However I have always lived in relatively safe suburbs, and the suburb I currently live in is probably as safe as most places in the world. Walking around any time of the day or night is not a risk. I think I'm much more worried about cyber crime

Zama's comment: I, too have never been raped or robbed but this does not mean the crime rate is acceptable. I suggest the she tries driving just once through Durban intersections with her window open- she will be a statistic!

But these crime ratings are too high. I live in durban since I was born in 1982 but never been robbed or raped so I think these more then 80% crime rate is taking it to the extreme
