Pistorius' house in the Silver Lakes community on the eastern edge of  South Africa's capital, Pretoria, is in an attractive compound  permanently guarded by armed security, yet that was not enough to allay  his concerns about being the victim of violent crime.

It seems like 90% of nice houses in the Johannesburg/ Pretoria area of South Africa are in similar communities. There's massive walls enclosing them, and there are armed guards at the front gate who also patrol the community periodically. Home invasions are a pretty serious problem out there for anyone with money.
