There is a draft regulations that was done for the City of Cape Town in June 2008 where it clearly states that any electric fencing wall which is erected ontop or affixed to a boundary wall shall conform to the following regulations:
The maximum height of electric fence permitted is 450 mm An electric fence must be at least 1.8m above the ground level at any point. Electric fences are only permitted to be erected on top on or attached to walls or fences. Electric fences are not permitted to encroach over the site boundary Regulation 11 of the Electrical Machinery Regulations promulgated in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, No 85 of 2003 must be fully complied with. Freestanding electric fences shall not be erected along any boundary in such positions that persons can inadvertently come into contact therewith. I do not know if this draft regulations was ever implemented, but it's worth while checking out.
