Not really the case.

This article mentions that in South Africa in 2008-9 there were 556 people shot and killed by the police.

In the US there were 410.

Population of the US is about 330 million which means 0.00013 percent of the population were shot and killed by police.

Population of South Africa is about 51 million which means 0.001 percent of the population were shot and killed by police.

This means you are about 80 times more likely to be shot and killed by the police in South Africa than you are in the US.
