On a day set aside to commemorate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, a day that is intended to bring goodwill among men and to be a day of love and forgiveness, the scourge of violence continued unabated across the country. Christmas was again turned into a nightmare for some people as the ungodly and uncivilized went about their evil.
The daily occurrence of violent attacks on people in South Africa and the ongoing farm attacks and farm murders is not acceptable in any civilized society.
Far to often it is argued that this violent and demonic behavior does not affect only white civilized communities but that it is the norm in townships and black rural areas where black on black violence is out of control. Well that’s the point! Why should civilized, functional communities suffer this barbaric behavior?
