Set aside the tragedy of the death of a stunningly beautiful woman this story brings to the for yet again the trend in westernised multi cultural nations for people to move into secure or high security residential develoments.
Mr Pretorius lived in the most secure community in South africa, it was commented on the radio that such secure enclosed gated , guarded estates were being built at an increasing rate as the end of apartheid has not brought the peaceful happy multi cultural paradise that was forcast.
Equally similar gated communities and secure estates are cropping up in France, Germany,Brazil, America and Britain (that I am aware of) but I'm sure they are going up in other countries as well.
I also recently read that many farmers are now being forced into installing better security systems for their farms and plant equipment because they are being targetted more and more by criminals who for some reason are not content living in those wonderful, diverse, inclusive, multi cultural socialist paradises that Labour created in our cities. CCTV, GPS tracking, better alarms, high security locks, heavy metal locking farm gates etc.
It reminds me also in the surge in sale laminated doors ( steel, hardwood, steel) to replace the much more vulnerable UPVC doors in many homes. I have a neighbour who I worked with for a month who installs double glazing and he noted that customers are now demanding the doors and windows are now secured in place with 8 and 10 mm steel self tapping bolts instead of number 8 or 10 screws.
Add to the last Met Commisioners comments about violent home intrusions in cities increasing so criminals can steal prestige car keys because car security systems are now so go they car cannot be stolen without the keys.
And one southern crime stoppers group noted that some criminals are following supermarket home delivery drivers to see who is getting valuable consumables delivered and when.
We are slowly but surely retreating behind high walls the way we did as a people 1000 years ago to keep the barbarians out.
