South Africa is home to many mesmerizing cities, but when the lens focuses on Cape Town and Johannesburg, the figures tip the scales towards the Mother City. Let's break down the challenges Johannesburg faces and explore why Cape Town, backed by data, emerges as the superior choice.


Johannesburg's Challenges in Numbers

  • Safety Concerns: Johannesburg's crime rate is 30% higher than Cape Town's, with significant spikes in specific areas.


Why Cape Town's Figures Stand Out

  • Natural Appeal: With over 70 pristine beaches and the iconic Table Mountain, Cape Town attracts nearly 2 million tourists annually, contributing significantly to its economy.

  • Thriving Tech Industry: Cape Town is home to over 60% of South Africa's tech startups, indicating a promising future for job seekers and investors.

  • Safety Stats: Cape Town's crime rate is considerably lower than Johannesburg's, making it a safer choice for families and businesses.
