We
include some information for car rental clients travelling in South Africa: GENERAL INFORMATION ON SOUTH AFRICA - for guidance only!
Crime
South Africa is actively addressing the issue of crime. It does have a high level of crime, but most occurs in the townships and isolated areas away from the normal tourist destinations. Consult a reliable tour guide if you are visiting a township. The risk to visitors travelling to the main destinations is low. But if you are mugged or your car is hijacked you should remain calm, offer no resistance and hand over possessions without question.
The South African authorities give high priority to protecting tourists. Tourism police are deployed in several of the large towns.
South Africa actively promotes an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign. But given the high level of HIV/AIDS in the country, you should seek immediate medical advice if you are sexually assaulted or otherwise injured.
As elsewhere, thieves like to operate at international airports, bus and railway stations. Passport theft is common. You should carry photocopies of your passport with you. Keep your baggage with you at all times. Keep large amounts of money, expensive jewellery, cameras and cell phones out of sight. Do not change large sums of money in busy public areas.
For your convenience and safety, you may wish to carry a mobile cellular phone with you at all times. Most UK cell phones, with international roaming facility, work in South Africa. You should check with your UK network operator before travelling. Alternatively, cell phones can be hired on arrival at the main international airports.
Business visitors
Do not give personal or financial account information details to unknown parties. There are international fraud rings operating in South Africa, as there are in other parts of the world, who may target visitors, foreign businessmen and charities.
Local Travel
Johannesburg, like other major international cities, has specific risk areas. You should avoid Berea and Hillbrow. There is a high level of muggings around the Rotunda bus terminus in the Central Business District.
In all areas of South Africa, you should be cautious when out after dark. Streets, even in urban areas, are not brightly lit at night. Be vigilant at all times in Durban's city centre and beachfront area. Keep to main roads and avoid driving at night when visiting Northern KwaZulu Natal and Zululand, as there have been incidents of hi-jacking and robbery, particularly on lonely secondary roads.
Be vigilant on the approach roads to and from Kruger Park where there have been cases of car hijacking. The local authorities have increased police patrols in this area.
Avoid isolated picnic spots.
There have been incidents of muggings of hikers on Table Mountain. The local authorities recommend that hikers should walk in groups and take appropriate precautions.
Avoid isolated beaches across South Africa and stay in company. Call the police (on 10111 (112 from cell phones)) at the first sign of a threat.
You should park in well-lit areas and should not pick up strangers. Neither should you stop to assist distressed motorists. Report the incident to the police. The standard of driving in South Africa is extremely variable. There are many fatal road accidents each year. You should avoid unfamiliar rural areas at night.
A valid UK driver’s licence is accepted in South Africa for up to 12 months after entry, provided it carries the photograph and signature of the holder. Old style UK driving licences, without photographs of the holder, may be authenticated by the Consular Section of the British High Commission or the Consulate General in Cape Town.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
Drug taking and smuggling is an offence. The punishments can be severe.
Homosexuality is permitted. South Africa has introduced legislation which bans any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS
British nationals visiting South Africa on holiday for less than 3 months do not require visas. After entry, extensions of stay may be sought from the Department of Home Affairs. Visitors who have overstayed without authority may be required to pay a fine, either on exit or at the nearest South African mission on their return to the UK (or elsewhere). Re-entry to South Africa will not be permitted until the fine has been paid in full. However, serious overstayers may be arrested on departure and detained before appearing in court. In such cases a very substantial fine may be imposed prior to deportation at their own expense.
British visitors, while not needing South African visas, should note that their passport must have one clear blank page for the South African entry stamp. SA Immigration officials will not allow the passport’s Child/Infant page to be used for this purpose. British visitors without a free blank page in their passports will be denied entry.
Passports must also be valid for no less than 30 days after the end of the intended visit.
Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. For further information, please contact the South African High Commission in London..
HEALTH
South Africa and the sub-Saharan region of Africa have a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS.
Malaria is prevalent in parts of Mpumalanga, Limpopo province and KwaZulu Natal (particularly the Wetlands area around St Lucia). Before travelling to these areas, including Kruger Park, you should seek medical advice.
There are periodic outbreaks of cholera in the poor communities of rural South Africa, especially in Northern KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo provinces. Cholera is a highly contagious disease. You are advised to maintain a high level of personal hygiene and drink only bottled water if travelling in these areas.
There has recently been an outbreak of measles in Cape Town and the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
Hospital treatment in large cities is good but can be expensive. Medical facilities in rural areas can be basic. In remote areas, air evacuation is sometimes the only option for medical emergencies.
You should check the Department of Health website at: www.dh.gov.uk or contact your own GP for up to date advice on vaccinations and prophylactics.
We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling, including cover for medical evacuation.
GENERAL
There is a high incidence of credit card fraud and fraud involving Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). Users of ATMs should be vigilant to ensure their Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are not observed by others when withdrawing money. Offers of assistance from bystanders should be refused. Closely protect any documents containing details of credit card, PINs and bank accounts. |
