Well, IMHO, you might be overreacting a bit, but then again the other posters make good points. Yes, this is not common, but I have known people to do this on other sites so this one could go either way. It is always nicer to see a place with someone who lives there if you are thinking that way. Gives you a better perspective on actually living there.
I have a bit of a curious bent, so I think I would take this a little further, and see if he does actually show up in your town, and go from there.
South Africans that I have met have all been pretty straightforward, practical people, and one of them doing this would not surprise me in the least.
Just if you do meet, take the usual safety precautions - keep it public, and keep it light. Being a tour guide can be a lot of fun, so if it is on the level you could end up having a really unexpected good time. But don't go doing anything silly like falling in love at first sight should you end up meeting him. And if any of the stuff the other posters mentions turns up AT ALL, like getting stuck on the way, needing a loan, etc, then report him IMMEDIATELY..... and if he is trying this on with a lot of women, well, someone probably has reported him already and the profile will dissappear - problem solved!
