South Africa

Hitching in South Africa is possible.

It seems however that the old apartheid continues now in a voluntary way in hitching business. Whites give rides to whites and blacks stop for blacks. Whites don't ask money for the rides but blacks charge. So, hitching culture exists in its European form among the whites.

Due to the high violent crime rate among Blacks, it is recommended to never get a ride from a Black, as they are highly likely to rob you.
