Travel: Departures: Danger zone
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE TRAVEL Advice Unit (071-270 4129) of the Foreign Office warns travellers to South Africa that violence in the country 'remains at a high level'. It adds that most of the violence is 'criminal rather than political. Be alert to sudden changes and take local advice about where it is safe to go. Avoid townships and surrounding areas. Travel in daylight hours if possible and be vigilant. Be alert to muggers, notably in city centres, and avoid isolated areas at all times.' Travellers are also being warned by the Foreign Office not to visit Algeria 'in view of the current security situation'.
