You will surely agree with me:
You will agree with me that there are millions of articles out there on violent attacks in South Africa, but it is an uphill task to find just one article that seeks to help or gives answers to those who want to come to South Africa for the world cup in June 2010.That’s why this article is one in a million and a must read for you.

Keep your eyes and ears open:
If you think that there is a threat on the way, find other linking roads to your hotel room or rented home. attackers rely on your routine to track you down and then look for a time when you’re most vulnerable to an attack.

Do not accept a ride offered by unknown person:
If you entered into unknown person’s car, you are at their mecy.they could attack you or hold you hostage and you might not have the opportunity to put self-defense.

Always keep your doors looked:
Attackers don’t always snatch their victims off the streets alone, they can sometimes begin the attack in your rented home or hotel room. To prevent an attack keep the doors closed always and make sure there are security cameras around your abode. The more you are secured inside, the more difficult you will be to be attack.

Friends in South Africa:
If you are going to meet a new friend ,make sure that your embassy knows where you are going and whom you are meeting, make sure you already knows the person’s national identity card information or drop such information with the hotel management before you meet this new friend.

Equip yourself:
There are safety gadgets you can carry with you that are very effective for preventing violent attacks. A stun gun and pepper sprays, for example are very effective for stopping an attacker and providing a enough time for you to escape.A stun gun is capable to discharge enough electric shock to the attacker, making him or her helpless so that you can find your way.
