They said to avoid this Johannesburg neighborhood

After 3 years exploring the Americas, Europe and Asia, we just arrived in Africa for the first time. And even though we’re spending our entire 18-day trip in the country of South Africa, we really wanna get a taste of the cultures that span the continent. So to kick things off, we’re leaving Melrose Arch—one of the nicest neighborhoods in Johannesburg—and heading to Yeoville—one of the poorest.  It may be notorious for its high levels of crime and poverty, but it also boasts a diverse pan-African culture that’ll provide an eclectic backdrop to our first real experience in the city.
