The comparison is not between Johannesburg and IRAQ. Johannesburg was chosen as an example of a place that some people consider dangerous. It could have been Rome, New York, Istanbul or Chicago. Anyway, I have lots of offers in NYC for 25% to 50% above normal rates. I wouldn't go there because of the challenge of living there. I wouldn't go to Tokyo for the same reason. The issue of taking a job for money is much more important. Why act like a prostitute? If you have a life, a carreer, a profession, you need to take a job because of the challenge or the opportunities for growth. If you want to make lots of money, find an appropriate profession. Go sell stocks, drugs, realestate, your body or your soul.
