I hear all kinds of stories about white farmers being killed and how it's acceptable to kill whites and whites only represent 9% of the population. How does it compare to being white in Europe or America?
well they are "only white people"(!!!), so most leftists will say they deserve it in a way since their forefathers engineered the apartheid system... I am a bit worried though since I intend to travel to SA next winter, but for sure I'll skip the townships and the most dangerous regions (Kwazulu-Natal?). I won't be able to avoid Jo'Burg since it's the central hub, but I'll be super careful and streetwise (no going out at night, always looking over my shoulder in the street, barricading myself in my hotel room).

Why in Gods name would you want to go their unless it's for business and you have no choice.

I have white Portuguese friends who vacation there every year. And a local English couple came back a few months ago and were raving about how wonderful their vacation was.
Perhaps at least part of what a white visitor finds is what he or she brings with them.

It sounds like you are confusing Zimbabwe with S.A.
I've worked with many white SA and become friends with a couple and most like their situation but are worried about their future going forward in SA. I even know some white Americans and Europeans that have emigrated there and love it. It is true that violent crime is abysmal in certain areas and you must be careful where you go according to what they tell me.
Nothwistanding those threats of violence, I'd still want to visit SA. After all, I survived countries such as Mexico, Egypt, Costa Rica , the Philippines...I doubt SA is much worse if one uses caution.

Why? Because regarding geographical features and wildlife it is a beautiful and easily accessable country, that is also relatively inexpensive - excellent highways, good food, and western accomodations.
I took a vacation there ten or fifteen years ago when the crime rate, if anything, was even worse, it was a great vacation. Simply got a rental car and went off on my own. We were very aware of the crime rates and obviously avoided the big cities and townships, we had zero issues. Definetly don't go to spend a week in Jo'burg. Go to see the excellent national parks like Kruger, you will never want to visit a zoo again.
