I’ve been this person downtown. I had to warn two Spanish women of using their cellphones on the street where I had witnessed two blatant motorcycle snatchers drive off with people’s cellphones. One of them found me annoying and wouldn’t look up from her screen to listen to what I was saying. Alright, ma’am, you do you. My bad.
I had a colleague from overseas looking to visit Soweto
I said something to the effect of “Brother why would you do that, don’t you have a family?”
But apparently there are legitimate tour programmes that go in there now. Super safe for visitors. I had no clue.
I mean, you still basically get robbed by the tour company, but if you’re used to dollars or euros, you probably won’t even notice.
Maybe someone got promoted by a youtuber. I know of Luke Damant who did that in Kiberia in hopes of arranging a steady income for a boy from the slum.
