Gary heard noises in early hours of morning and went downstairs to investigate. He was confronted by three armed suspectss. A struggle ensued as he tried to stop the armed intruders from getting to his family, he was shot in the abdomen.
His wife, Symone, and his two children, aged 19 months and 4 years, were awake upstairs and heard the incident. After shooting Gary in cold blood the three intruders proceeded upstairs where they held Symone at knife point before making off with valuables.
Another tragedy and murder of an innocent person. It is said that one person is murdered every 30 minutes in South Africa. The people of South Africa are forced to live like prisoners in their home due to the high crime rate. Crime continues to soar across South Africa resulting in the death of innocent people. Residential suburbs are targeted with petty crimes to more dangerous ones. While the unemployment factor remains high, drug related crimes and people desperate to feed their families turn to crime for survival. The petty thieves do not allow the high electric fence walls hinder their determination to break into a house. Often the armed response teams arrive on the scene and capture the amateur perpetrators, who risk a jail time for their reckless behavior. Other intruders get lucky and turn the stolen goods, often electronic equipment into cash for much needed provisions for their starving families or to support their drug addition. More serious crimes often result in a family member being critically injured by the intruder.
Criminals do not care about life, who they kill and who they injure and the government does not care about crime. There is no quick solution to combating crime while the government turns a blind eye to the reality of the situation.

It is an absolute disgrace that incidents such as these are never mentioned by the state controlled media. Failed state indeed and a two faced South African farcical democracy run by communists.
