Who needs fencing in Kimberley
Kimberley is the capital of the Northern Cape and a historic diamond mining town. Homes and townhouse complexes buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, and government buildings, Sol Plaatje University and schools need secure perimeters. Mines and solar plants in the region use palisade or clear view with razor wire. Sheep, cattle and game farms around the city need stock fencing, jackal-proof mesh and game fences. Heat, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and concrete-set posts.
