There are so many stories of how people are attacked and murdered in South Africa. The
crime prevention is in a mess, and many
people are forced to stay indoors and avoid a confrontation with criminals.
Here is another story of an innocent man, who probably spent
some time with friends and left to go home after
an entertaining evening. He never got into his car; he
was severely beaten by unknown perpetrators and found hours later. He is
in a coma recovering in hospital. The police are investigating. Can you imagine
how devastating his family are?
We all cry out for protection but at the end of the day, we
are all targets for criminals and more so in South Africa. I am always saddened by these stories and keep
praying for the people affected by crime, especially the farmers.
It must be traumatizing for
people to live in fear and South
Africa, especially the minority group who are
becoming the victims of more attacks
daily.

blood, beside his car, outside Top Shots, in Trichardts Road.

A Boksburg North
resident is still in a coma, in hospital after a vicious attack which left him
for dead in the early hours of March 5.
Leon Scholtz (43) was found
lying in a pool of blood, beside his car, outside Top Shots, in Trichardts
Road.
His attackers are unknown.
Leon’s father, Johan, said
his son was at Top Shots with his friends before the attack.
“When the time came for him
to leave the facility, his friends walked him out and went back into the place,
thinking that he had left,” he said.
However, when his friends
were about to leave the place later, they noticed his car was still parked outside.
“When they approached they
found that he was bleeding and badly
beaten,” said Johan.
Johan said by the look of
things he was probably attacked by more than one
person.
Paramedics were called to the scene and administered
treatment before transporting him to hospital.
His mother, Petro, burst into
tears when she spoke to the Advertiser this morning (March 11).
“I’m hurt and I urge people
out there to pray for my son,” she said, sobbing.
She added that Leon’s
condition remains unchanged.
Boksburg North SAPS
spokesperson Juanita Coetzer said police are investigating a case of assault
with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
She appealed to any witnesses to come forward and to contact
the detective branch on 011 306 0000, using reference number 107.
“Right now we have no idea
who attacked him and with what, we can only hope that he recovers, so that he will be able to help us
with more information,” said Coetzer.
Top Shots owner Belinda Liebenberg
told the Advertiser that following the attack, they have since hired security
guards to look after cars and to ensure people get into their cars safely.
