If only the sellers could afford to hire the fifteen or so security guards who might prevent the murderous assaults from over the fifteen-foot high wall, the car-jackings which plague Cape Town & Johannesburg, the rapes, robberies and a few of the 27,000 murders per year from taking place in the immediate vicinity of this fabulous property, they might stand a chance of selling one of these white elephants to an unsuspecting American who hasn’t seen either t.v. news, or read a newspaper for the last ten years!

i live here and its not actually that bad…especially not in camps bay. u just gotta watch wat areas u go to. and if we being all naive here then i would say america is a million times worse in terms of crime.

@mike, a little bit pessimistic there. this is a beautiful place and an even more beautiful area of Cape Town. thanks for reciting yearly south african crime statistics and applying it to one suburb of the country.
