We are on the ground in Johannesburg. Rumors of the security situation in this city appear to be greatly over-exaggerated. It is cleaner and more modern than Los Angeles. We were also greeted with cooler weather than we expected - including rain.
This is the message I have been broadcasting since my first visit in S.A. 5 years ago.
JNB was quite a surprise, not at all what I had expected.
I have never encountered violence but always got rained on.
