Sexual violence, yes, I'm sure Jo'burg is worse. Sexual harassment (defined widely to include wolf whistles, remarks, gestures and predatory onslaught from construction site workers...) not so sure,

My response on this is all rather tongue in cheek though, and not in any way intended to detract from the high levels and seriousness of sexual offences committed in Jo'burg, which I gather was the point of your comment.

Well, I'm not in a position to judge - and I wasn't really looking at the fellas. Mind you, after 12 bottles of Amstel the magic bus turned up and took all the ugly people away!!
