to be expected

I've been to 2 score countries in my travels - and there are only a few that are on my list of places I absolutely wont go. South Africa is at the top of that list.

There's a good reason - and at some point international football is going to really truly regret putting the game in such an absolute shithole country. If you go - make sure you take the bulletproofed limos from the airport, wear kevlar, and stay at hotels with very large armed guard contingents.
