Security has been a major factor on recent tours of Pakistan
Pakistan's fifth one-day international against South Africa on Monday has been moved from Karachi to Lahore because of security concerns।
The South Africans did not want to play in Karachi after last week's bombing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's convoy in which 139 people were killed।
"We deeply regret this decision, especially for the people of Karachi।
"But members of our contingent are not comfortable travelling there," said team manager Logan Naidoo.
"If possible, we will play in Karachi when we tour Pakistan next time।"
Bomb attacks in the city have disrupted previous series, with New Zealand flying home in 2002 after an explosion close to their hotel, which killed 14 people.
