@ IanF - that was the funniest thing that came out... imagine what the world thought of us. It brought a smile when that came out. Imagine the road rage and road side vendor stories that would come from it.... Still makes me smile!! I wouldn't dare get one, probably would have smoked like 50 flash drive or sun glasses vendors by now!!
JDG can now see what the issue is with both threads re security. The SA market is perfect for security systems, huge amounts are spent in this country on it. HOWEVER, if you are serious about this market, you need to spend a few months here and put yourself in these situations. If you survive that, and i am really not joking "IF YOU PUT YOURSELF PURPOSELY IN THESE SITUATIONS YOUR CHANCES OF WALKING AWAY IN A FEW MONTHS IS POSSIBLY UNLIKELY"If I see hijackers walk to my car, I will start the system then the hijackers will not close to my car. How could they through a spark plug at my car's window? And the system only started when users fell they under emergency situation.
You dont have a firm grip of what it is really like. What everyone is saying is quite honest here. South africans have experience at looking for potential hazards and yet still get caught out. The crime in general is often really violent for no reason. You can die here for a cell phone.
Dont want to make this thread out as a "South African Horror story, stay away for here"... but it is rough. If we could see the hijacker coming, there would be alot less of it, but it is really just not that easy.
