According to the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, South Africa's Christmas and New Year holiday seasons are approaching, and various cases and traffic accidents have occurred frequently in the same period in previous years. The Chinese Embassy in South Africa reminds the vast number of overseas Chinese in South Africa to earnestly raise their security awareness and enhance their prevention capabilities.
1. Ensuring the safety of persons and property. Pay close attention to the security situation in your place of residence and travel destination, keep in mind that the local **, the embassy and consulates in Yugoslavia and the Chinese Police-Community Cooperation Center****** avoid going to or passing through informal settlements, parades, rally sites and other areas with poor public security, and be cautious when going to bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues. Check the potential safety hazards in the work and living places, confirm the normal operation of safety facilities and equipment such as door locks, monitoring probes, and alarm equipment, and lock doors and windows when going out. Avoid traveling alone at night and in the early hours of the morning, and be wary of wandering and tracking suspicious people and vehicles. Keep in touch with family and friends during your trip. Avoid carrying valuables or large amounts of cash, keep a low profile in your words and deeds, and don't show off your wealth. After shopping and withdrawal, pay attention to prevent tracking and robbery.
2. Pay attention to traffic and driving safety. Plan ahead and familiarize yourself with your travel route, and fasten your seatbelt at all times. Strictly abide by traffic laws and regulations, do not drive tired, drunk or speeding, maintain an appropriate speed and safe distance, and carry a driver's license and other documents. Do not put bags, mobile phones and other items in a conspicuous position in the car, and place valuables in the trunk. Keep the doors and windows locked during driving, and keep an eye out for people and vehicles when parking temporarily. Do not arbitrarily allow "hitchhiking" and "carpooling", and do not open the doors and windows of people begging or distributing advertisements. When driving in scenic spots and other crowded areas, pay attention to avoiding pedestrians and standardizing parking. No valuables are left in the car when you leave the vehicle.
3. Respond to emergencies prudently. In case of theft, kidnapping, or other violations or emergencies, you should give priority to ensuring your personal safety, avoid conflicts with lawbreakers, report to the police as soon as you are safe, and contact the nearest embassy or consulate in Yugoslavia or the local Chinese Police-Community Cooperation Center for help. In case of inspection by law enforcement personnel such as South ** and immigration, please cooperate with the other party in the case of identifying the identity of the other party. In case of rough or unfair behavior by law enforcement officers, please treat it calmly, avoid conflicts, and pay attention to collecting evidence so that you can rely on it afterwards
