Lower-risk driving routes in Port Alfred

Port Alfred was added in November 2026 as one of the festive-season towns. Coverage is the Ndlambe municipality: Port Alfred and East Bank, Bathurst, Kenton-on-Sea, Bushmans River, Alexandria and the seaside villages from Cannon Rocks and Boknes to Kasouga and Kleinemonde. Every area and main road is rated against SAPS figures for the police stations that serve it and against local news reports, and checked a second time.

Of the 20 rated areas in Port Alfred, these are the ones at the highest of the four risk levels, for each of the three times of day. Every figure comes straight from the live database, read on 3 November 2026. The lowest band means an area was checked and carries no routing penalty, which is different from an area we have no data for. A rating describes an area's history of vehicle crime, not what is happening on a street right now: lower risk is not no risk.

What to know on these roads

  1. 01

    The R72 coast road, the R67 to Bathurst and the R343 to Salem are marked for caution, mostly for theft from parked cars. The route card names any rated stretch a route uses.

  2. 02

    Crime against motorists is low on this coast: the police stations in the area recorded two carjackings in the year to June 2026.

Tsamaya rates roads and routes. It does not publish a list of neighbourhoods, and the app never labels a place for anyone other than the driver about to pass through it.

Questions

Port Alfred, asked

Yes. Kenton-on-Sea, Bushmans River, Cannon Rocks, Boknes, Kasouga and Kleinemonde are inside the mapped area, as are Bathurst and Alexandria.

The Port Alfred end of the R72 is, and so is the East London or Gqeberha end. The open road between them runs outside the mapped areas, so there the app navigates as normal, without risk data.
