Download Is it still safe to hang out at South Africa’s taverns?
While he’s on tour in South Africa, Alan noticed that taverns are making the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
When he visited one in Soweto, he found a warm, welcoming pub at the centre of the community.
But he heard that there aren’t as many people drinking there as usual.
It seems they have heard reports of shootings at taverns across the country.
Just five minutes up the road, sixteen people were killed by gunmen a few weeks ago – the most deadly mass shooting since democracy in the country.
So, are taverns still a safe place to hang out in South Africa?
