I got shot three times after a carjacking in my driveway at 6:00pm, this was on the back of 4 armed robberies in 3 years. For me, in the interest of self-preservation and the safety of my family I decided to move.
South Africa is the best country to live in until something happens to you, I just couldn't take any more chances. If that makes me any less patriotic than the next bloke, then so be it

.
That said I have been attacked as well since moving to England, albeit by a badger in my back garden that I cornered with the RSPCA!
