Ummm, no. It's somewhat safer in certain areas, at certain times of day but Cape Town also has a murder rate twice that of Johannesburg. But to say Cape Town is "much safer" is misrepresenting things. You still need to be street smart and cautious there.

We have family who live in a very nice area downtown near Long Street and you 100%, absolutely, do not go on foot after dark.
