[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly your MIL is ignorant as your title says.  Africa is a MASSIVE and extremely diverse continent, one I have not been privileged enough to visit.

I will say that there is an incredibly high amount of violence against women in South Africa.  Your daughter really should be aware of the violence against women, research expectations, and safety recommendations, and prepare accordingly.

"South Africa is considered to be the rape capital of the world with 10 818 rape cases reported in the first quarter of 2022.1 The rate at which women are killed by intimate partners in this country is five times higher than the global average.2 Gender-based violence (GBV), a widespread and common occurrence in SA, is deeply ingrained in homes, workplaces, cultures and traditions". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10091185/#:~:text=South%20Africa%20is%20considered%20to,the%20first%20quarter%20of%202022.&text=The%20rate%20at%20which%20women,higher%20than%20the%20global%20average.

+1000. OP you may be able to pick out Cape Town on a map, but clearly know nothing about the city.
