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.
