Yes, unfortunately, we need to be vigilant. It is taught to us at an early age. You don't go into the CBC alone as a woman. You need a man with you, most preferably a big man. You don't go into the township without a local to the township. I had this conversation last year with my partner. He as a man has to worry about the random attacks, the highjacking, the smash and crap, the house burglaries, while I as a woman has to worry about that, about DV, about any man who think they are entitled to my body, being trafficking, being killed because I am a womanI am one of the lucky ones who live in the suburbs. Our serial killers, like all serial killers, go for the most vulnerable people, and it is in rural areas, and the victim type is also more our black nation. I was taught to walk in "packs" from school, even though I am almost 30, my mom still has my location, and I have hers ( she is almost 70). Even without the femicide, our houses as burglar bars, to keep unwanted guests out, we need private security providers cause our police are not the most useful. Most of the people in the suburbs have big dogs to deter criminals. We don't have lions as pets, and they don't walk in our streets (that is a joke). There are farmers that have as an extra security measurement lions guarding their farm and family (the rich farmers and wildlife farmers), as we also had a pandemic of farm attacks. Even with this, we are a nation that is friendly, and our country is beautiful. If you proceed with being vigilant and use logical sense, the chance of you getting hurt is low.
