SAFETY IN JOHANNESBURG Personal vigilance is key to remaining safe in Johannesburg. Like any other big city throughout the world, Johannesburg has its share of crime. South Africa is experiencing rapid political, social and economic change. The impact of such changes in any urban city is the same as everywhere in the world; so there is an undesirable incidence of crime, particularly petty and opportunistic crime. While statistics show a reduction in crime, it is also a place where guns and other weapons are as prevalent as in other parts of the world. We urge you to take appropriate precautions for your safety.
SAFETY ON CAMPUS The Campus Control Division is responsible for the prevention of crime, the detection and apprehension of offenders, the preservation of peace and the protection of students, staff a day.
