Buy bottled water if you are concerned. No vaccinations are required here - unless you are entering from a Yellow Fever risk area.

This is important - as a very nasty strain of TB has recently emerged in this area. |

Tourists are extremely important to South Africa, and the security services are totally dedicated to keeping you safe. Having said that - you still need to take the usual common sense precautions. |
