 What to bring to South Africa
For what it's worth, my view on this is that it isn't a good idea, as a
tourist, to be handing out gifts to local children - especially candy bars.
If you want to help the local people there are plenty of organisations out
there that would be happy to use a donation from you, or you could even
donate directly to a local school.
Giving gifts directly to children just fosters a culture of dependence that
encourages the children to skip school and hassle tourists.
Just my 2c. Others may have contrary view.
