Everywhere You Go In White, Rich South Africa You See This:


Notice the steel-enforced door, the massive concrete walls with electric fencing. Most white homes have these huge walls and steel doors, no matter how rich someone is.

The electric fence symbolizes an antagonistic relationship between one's home and one's community. It guards against thieves, sure, but it guards against everyone else as well . We are all suspects in the eyes of a fence.
