text: I have a colleague who had been travelling back and forth to South Africa for years on business who claims that the place has been essentially devolving into lawless chaos.  On his last trip they were carjacked and robbed at gunpoint and then later in the trip the person in the hotel room one floor below them was robbed and murdered by a man who climbed up the balconies.  He tells me that he has now refused to go back there.
