Questions about travel to South Africa

[MEL_Traveller]

How does this related to the OP question?

I think poochie is very concerned about the OP’s daughter’s safety… and suggesting a low value credit card could be thrown to the baying masses to distract them while daughter makes a run for it.

While I think it’s a good idea to be aware of surroundings, especially in South Africa, I’m not sure that such extreme measures are going to be required.

Aside from that, daughter will already have been ‘in country’ for a while, so will be acclimatised and know what to look out for.

And poochie… they recommend having a one-dollar cheap decoy wallet in your back pocket if you’re concerned about pickpockets… no need for an actual credit card!

Anti further financial loses.
It's all anti scam too.
If you think shrewdly, you will get my drift.
We in Aus have scruples, over there his/her daughter will be seen as a potential victim.

You need to do it the modern way.
$1 or 20 Rand, the scammers or thieves will know.
If they see a Wise card, that will be thing they aim for.
Worst is if her bags get lost in the domestic sector in South Africa.
(((Am on Smartphone in MEL))), and eg I know I wie dead if I lost it, as it's the only way to check in for Aus domestic flights.
