Watch out for
- Smash-and-grab attacks and carjackings can occur at roadway intersections, highway on-ramps, and driveway gates when stopping to enter residential properties.

- Home invasions occur across residential suburbs in Pretoria; accommodations rely on layered security such as automated gates, alarm systems, and private armed response.
