"my own home in an upmarket suburb of Midrand"
and I clearly said thats Normal to have that level of Security.
And in my life that WAS normal.
Just as a matter of interest, you have 6 strand electric Fence, what is that on top of?
A wall?
a pre cast wall?
some wire fencing
Palisade?

So you still insist it's normal?
In my life it is.
and for those of my friends who had palisade forced open with a motor car Jack, as happened in my yard, and who could afford it, it is.
whats normal in your life?darko?
High levels of securiy IS Normal in Gauteng.
but again, levels of security in Tembisa or Ivory park will have a different level of "Normality" than a middle income suburb which will have a lower level of Security as NORMAL than a suburb with a higher level of discretionary income.

Dont know where you are in the food chain and dont care either,
my normal is obviously different from your normal.

I'm glad we've finally cleared that up: It was "normal" in YOUR life and NOT normal to the average SAcan. Had you clearly stated that at the beginning, all the subsequent nonsense would've been avoided.

Correct...your normal is indeed different to my/the rest of SA's normal.

Hello Hetal, Have you finally moved to South Africa? If so, can you tell me about your experience so far? I have been offered a job in Sandton and I am pondering whether to move. I will be relocating from Canada with my fiancee.

Thanks
Alberto
