I'm keen to check out the CBD, but safety's a big worry. I used to pop over for a haircut, but had a bad run-in last year. Some crooks busted my windows and swiped my laptop from my car. Haven't been back since.
Pretoria is still not up to Cape Town's CBD but it's more likely to get there than Johannesburg and I really hope it gets there. Would love for you to do a tour of Bloemfontein city I actually think it's not as bad as our other cities.
Kudos to your guide, he did a good job. I stayed in Pretoria for 11 years and I feel like it’s the safest city. I used to pass on Queen street every morning and had no idea there was a beauty of that mosque.
I know you couldn't go everywhere but he should've taken you to state theater which is just next to Absa building and Reserve bank building which is probably the tallest in PTA.
Interesting and nice looking place. But nowhere in my travels across big cities of Europe or North America have I heard that holding your phone a certain way is important for safety or keeping it. Sounds like SA cities are still not quite ready for mass tourism. I want them to be!
🙏thank you brother. Right shoulder, ribs, ankle, knuckles, I was pretty bruised up. That dive through the window was pure instinct. I wish I had recorded it. 😂
