If you live in Cape Town right now, a word of warning

A friend just posted the update below a few minutes ago. As always guys, be aware of your surroundings! I go along these back roads for birding, and have never had to look over my shoulder ... until now. Be careful:


I've fought off muggers before, but this time was different, we were outnumbered. Around 6-8 assailants ran towards us wielding pangas and hammers. Luckily I had climbed a tree earlier in order to get a good vantage point for my brother's bike run. This let me warn my brother but left me helpless in the tree with just the GoPro. 1st left off Van Schoorsdrift Rd, Vissershok (very close to Zone7). Be warned, local law officials have told me that this road is notorious for prostitution, robbery and hijacking.

That's our adjacent neighborhood ...

It's so much grace that our little family never had any of those yet. May God prevent that we ever will !
