I was in Limpopo in 2024 and plan to return later this year. I never felt overtly unsafe while in country. As is my habit, I am very aware of my surroundings when in an unfamiliar place. I watch and listen and maintain a higher SA than I would when in my safe space. But, that is true when I am in Atlanta, Chicago, or LA also. The only times, I saw my PH get on a higher state of alert was when entering or exiting the airport at night and in Joburg once when a group of street vendors began beating on a driver who had tossed a drink into the face of one of them. That guy started it and got the reward for his misbehavior. Joburg is about like any large American city and has its share of crime. Just stay aware, do not wander around alone or after dark.
In fact, my PH and his wife were in Atlanta last January and witnessed a drive by shooting between two gangs in downtown while there. They felt more at risk in parts of the USA than they ever do in SA.
