I was in Joburg about 20 years ago visiting a film company, and got invited to their home in the suburbs - 10 foot stone walls topped with broken glass. Once through the gate I lagged a bit behind, checking things out. That was when their 5 German Sheppards decided I wasn't part of the pack and backed me against the wall as the others continued to the house. Scared the living shit out of me. You don't realize how defenseless you are as a human until you're confronted by animals who have the power to kill you, and are considering it.

The home owners finally noticed I had been separated and called the dogs back. We started talking about security, and they were telling me how you don't stop when you come out of the bank. You call so that, as you walk out of the bank, you get directly into a moving car. Etc. etc. etc.

And that was how bad it was 20 years ago. I can't even imagine now.
