Not so much pickpocketing as gunpoint mugging (I've been pickpocketed by gypsy in Rome so it's not like it's an African problem) - the scum of this nation are quite in-your-face when it comes to their misdeeds. You'll have nothing to fear if you stick to the suburbs and the cities and stay away from Joeburg or Port Elizabeth (PE's extremely friendly though). Cape Town is alot like London; it's very cosmopolitan and very accessible for tourists. As for the women who'll be looking to "make business", don't ever pick up one off the streets as there is a good chance that they have HIV.
Be smart about your visit. Westernised and up-to-date we might be but it's still Africa.
BTW we have beautiful women and they all love foreign men.
