I wouln't worry too much about these sharks, even though they are closely related to the Great White.
The movie "Jaws" did the poor shark a great deal of harm. The great white is now a very rare species and does not really figure in shark attacks world wide. Off the Kwazulu Natal Coast the shark with the worst reputation is what is called a Zambezi Grey. I don't know the scientific name. Also the hammerhead shark can be very nasty as they tend to swim in shoals.
The Mako shark is highly regarded as a game fish. They are very fast and fight extremely well.
