Q: Firstly, i know that the Xeno matter has been discussed at length here but last night i was in Midrand ( got family that lives across the road from where the camps are put up ) The "officials" told residents these people are not criminal etc, but yesterday they got flyiers saying not to leave anything in their yards that will tempt theives and to lock up properly... so fist they say they are not criminals , then they send out a warning , whats up with that? secondly , and this annoys me is that there were about 5 police vehicles at the camp and a number of police officers, apparently the police are there to protect them if anyone decides to attack , my problem is that we as Tax payers have to pay security companies to guard our houses , yet these okes get free police protection... it may sound a bit harsh on my part , but that does not make sense to me...

A: Funny you mention the security issue. About a year ago, I had the perimeter of my house secured with electric fencing and put up trallidores as well. This set me back approximately R50 000. I have written letters to Helen Zille about a possible subsidy on security expenses. I have received a response that they are looking at it but nothing has happened since.
