The 800-hectare "shared block" property has its own restaurant, a shop and a bank, as well as school, home for the elderly, kindergarten and town hall, which also serves as a church. Kleinfontein is closed to outsiders. Every new resident is thoroughly interviewed by de Beer and other directors – people whose role is to be the "elders of the tribe." Even outside delivery and construction crews are allowed to enter the town only with permission from the board. If an owner wants to hire such a crew, management has to check first whether there are any local Boers that could do the job, and if that's the case, it may prohibit the strangers from getting the contract.
According to Dannie de Beer such strict rules are in place because by letting someone else in to do their work, the community is risking its independence and power.
