Only seen it on wine tours but It seems a nice little town in SA. About as safe as it gets In that country, I suspect.
I've just come back from a 3 week trip covering the Cape area, Jo'burg, Natal, Pretoria and the northern national parks. I never felt unsafe.
Good for you. Living in SA and being a tourist there worlds apart. Ask any Sth African of any hue. Invariably they themselves personally, or someone they know, has had a scary crime episode in the Republic.
