'Joburg is less violent than Cape Town; Clifton beach is world class'

17 December 2015 8:00 AM

2015 is drawing to a close and we're taking stock of the year in news. Below are highlights of the most read stories on 702 in January.

Did you know that Joburg didn't make the cut as one of the 50 most violent cities in the world? Instead Cape Town and Nelson Mandela Bay came in at numbers 20 and 41 respectively.

However, the Mother City's Clifton is the second best beach in the world, according to National Geographic? If you're looking for a place to have fun, look no further....

It seems there's no place like beautiful and sunny South Africa, considering that expats are returning home in droves, thanks to Angel Jones who's leading the Homecoming Revolution.
