Senseless Murders happen all the time

If criminals do not have guns, they will use knives and whatever other weapons they find, to kill their victims. Murdering people seem to happen every day in South Africa. Some of the crimes are family related, and some are related to drugs and theft.

A young man stabbed his mother to death and was held in custody, why he did this is unknown, and we will probably never hear the story again. He remains in police custody and will probably let out on bail. The justice system is a failed system. 

In another incident, a woman was attacked stabbed while bystanders looked on. Nobody tried to intervene; perhaps they thought it was a road show. Fortunately, her life has been spared. What a traumatic experience. In broad daylight, the victim was attacked, and the possible motive was robbery.

It is dangerous to walk around the streets, and it is dangerous in your own home. It is really a terrible situation for the people of South Africa to live a life filled with the thought of being another victim of senseless crime.

Brutal Centurion stabbing did not happen at Gautrain Station

Gautrain has dismissed the claim that a Midrand woman was viciously stabbed on Saturday at the Centurion Gautrain Station after graphic images circulated on social media on Monday.

According to the Centurion Record the caption on Facebook that accompanied the pictures read, "Woman attacked by thugs with a knife at Centurion Gautrain Station, while people sat on the pavement and just watched. Had to have emergency surgery at hospital. After the recent spate of incidents, we advise against using the Gautrain Station. ”

Gautrain confirmed via Twitter that the incident did not take place at the Centurian Gautrain Station

The woman, who would like to remain anonymous, was stabbed several times on her left arm, down the road from the Centurion Gautrain Station.

According to eNCA, the woman thought the attacker was a municipal worker when he approached her.

“I thought the attacker was a municipal employee when he approached me. He grabbed my handbag, but I put up a fight. And then he said in Afrikaans that he was gonna (sic) stab me if I don't give him my phone,” she said.

The woman was lying bleeding on the pavement surrounded by bystanders when Yvonne Rudman and her husband stopped their vehicle and took her to the hospital where she had surgery that day.

"I took the photos of her in hospital (with her permission)  and shared them on Facebook and then it went viral," said Yvonne.

Another Senseless Murder

Must the people of South Africa adapt to a new way of life, living like we are at war. Similar to what the farmers did in the old Rhodesian war, (now Zimbabwe).  Must we always be prepared and forever vigilant and forever armed for we never know when we will be attacked? 

I am not sure if we really know how many people are murdered a day in South Africa. An artist was shot and killed recently. The deceased lived in a secure complex where security was a key feature.

Complexes are the preferred choice of accommodation for most, based on the security, and peace of mind. Yet, the murderers still break in, and kill people. So where in South Africa is it safe to live?

South Africa is a dangerous place.

Son tells of artist dad's bloody death

Pretoria - Pointing to congealed blood on the living room floor, Dali Bothma said: “That is my father’s blood.”

His father, artist Manie St Clair Bothma, 63, was murdered in his Karen Park home last Wednesday.

The room had yet to be cleaned up; cushions and other items had been turned upside down.

Furniture had been disarranged and his father’s artwork was on the floor.

Dali relayed how his father was shot in cold blood in his house.

He said he was present when the horrific incident took place at about 1.20am.

“Everything happened in split seconds.

“I was in my room. Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the living room.

“I opened my door and stuck my head out. I saw a man facing the opposite direction, and he turned around with a big gun pointing itat me.”

Dali said he quickly went back to his room and shut his door and held the handle up so it could not open easily.

“I was scared the man would shoot me through the door.

“I then heard my father screaming please don’t shoot me; take whatever you want, just don’t shoot....”

“I then heard the sound of a gun,” Dali said.

A few seconds after the shots were fired, his father screamed twice “Don’t shoot me”, he added.

Dali then heard a door slamming and a car speeding off.

Bothma said he went out of his room up to his father in the living room.

“He was just lying there. I screamed ‘daddy... daddy’, but he did not respond,” he said.

He then ran out of the house and round the complex screaming for help.

He saw a bathroom light on in one of the houses and went in, asking the woman who opened up to call an ambulance and the police, as his father had been shot.

Shortly afterwards, an ADT vehicle arrived with the police and paramedics. His father was declared dead at the scene.

The perpetrators drove off with Bothma’s Kia Picanto, cellphone and paintings which were in the boot.

Two days after the incident, the house was broken into and only cigarettes on the table were taken.

The artist’s other son, Picasso, 29, said he could not understand why the perpetrators chose their father’s house and took his car, the cheapest as compared to others in the complex.

“What is it that they were after? My brother was also here; why didn’t they shoot him too?”

Police spokesman Lieutenant Kay Makhubela said a case of murder was being investigated.

A neighbour, who refused to be named, said she heard loud voices on the night of the incident, but thought he was yelling at his son as he would normally do.

The artist had been living in the complex for eight months, and his son said they always felt safe as the security was very tight.

The neighbour said she was just as surprised as everyone else about the murder, as Bothma sr was a “beautiful soul who was friendly towards everyone. People liked him a lot”.

He used to sell his paintings everywhere and to anyone, including government officials, doctors, lawyers, former heavyweight boxer Francois Botha and singer Patricia Lewis, according to his sons.

He once gave paintings to basketball great Michael Jordan and golfer Tiger Woods.

He was buried on the same day in Laudium.

Carry on Murdering

Two bullet wounds in the head, gagged and bound. What a terrible way to die. A  23-year-old pharmacy student was found murdered in her home, in the South of Johannesburg. 

No arrests have been made. It is South Africa, what does another murder mean, well to many it is revolting, horrifying and unjust. For some, it is a way of life, a new passion. After all, the justice system has failed, and criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens.
