Cape Town calling. For tourists who are not complete idiots, it's safe. There's not a whole lot to see in Jo'berg; it's mostly popular for shopping and nightlife. Cape Town is a much more attractive tourist destination, and see if you can visit some of the national parks like Kruger. Where you go really depends on what you two are interested in; Cape Town and the winelands region are great for food and wine and sightseeing. If you're into nature or surfing there's plenty of options, too.

You don't wander around the streets drunk late at night here, you drive from A to B, but if you're American you'll be used to that anyway I imagine. And If you stand in the middle of the street looking like a clueless tourist people will take advantage of you, but most violence happens in very poor areas that you would have no reason to go to.

As a black American what is the best way to look like a local black South African?

Certain types of shoes? Clothes? Hair cut?

>>1260034
No shoes, dirty clothes, dish washer in mouth.

>dish washer in mouth.
Like soap? Or a cloth used to clean dishes?

>no shoes
Not gonna happen, stepping on a syringe in SA would be suicide.

haha nigger

Mods do your fucking "job" before this place becomes as bad as /int/ and /pol/. Why don't you add something on the sticky directing people to go to /int/, /pol/ or /bant/ if they want to be childish racists?

I'd say fashion; you need to get a sense of it while you're down here, but it's quite different from the US. The African dandy influence is much stronger. But you will always be recognized or quickly discovered as a member of the "African diaspora", not as a local. You won't have any trouble as a tourist, though.

Thanks anon.

>African dandy
I have never heard of such a thing but I will look into it and where to buy appropriate attire

Been to South Africa twice, once for 5 weeks back in 04, again in 2010 for the World Cup. Had a blast both times.

Cape Town is amazing, beautiful city, lots to do. Johannesburg is a bit less interesting and certainly feels more rundown and less safe.

I never felt unsafe at all in Cape Town, though we stayed south of the city proper, down near Noordhoek. It was easy/cheap to get a rental car and head into the city to do stuff.

It was also my experience that everybody was pretty friendly towards me as an American on both trips. Use a bit of common sense and you'll be fine.

Don't know who's worse, guys like this >>1260055, or the perpetually offended whenever someone makes a remark that could be construed as offensive to their pet brown people.

>my gf wants to go there
Lol. Guranteed replies

>>1260070
Racism isn't childish, it's necessary. At the risk of saying "no u" your egalitarian worldview is childish, as you think "love will save the worrld" and that everyone around the world is the same and equal, ironic considering this is a travel board

>>1260070
Fuck you, cuck
