Hi Aurelie,

Thanks for instant reply.
I have got very silly queries...
I wondered if i can go all alone for grocery shopping etc etc..
Or can i take a short walk with my kid like dropping her in creche etc...
since my husband will be in office, somethings i have to manage on my own , is it possible in johannesburg.

Really worried!!!!!!!

Thanks & Regds

I have lived in JHB for +- 12 years and nothing has happened to me. Yes you can go to the parks and zoo but obviously stay with the child. Just take normal precautions like not walking in dark alleys etc and you should be fine.
