I really don't understand why you're trying so hard to frame this in a rich versus poor issue.

In South Africa you can go to the middle of gangland which is easy to find because crime is so rampant, and you'll find security companies whose residents are their customers not some rich person whose decided to fund security for poor people.

I don't think you understand how serious crime is here that everyone no matter the wealth class is being affected to such a degree that private security companies in both rich and poor areas are the only effective combat against the wave of terror.
