A Durban businessman stabbed to death in home invasion for a cellphone and wallet. Johan Kriek (53) was stabbed to death during a home invasion attack by two black males on Tuesday morning 1 September 2020, in his house in Westville, Durban.
The attackers entered the house when his wife opened the door to let the dogs out before 05:00. Johan was stabbed in the chest and his 18 year old son was stabbed in his upper leg.
The attackers fled with only a cellphone and a wallet.
Paramedics tried to save Mr Kriek’s life but he passed away on the scene. Mr Kriek owned a towing truck business and was well loved because he always went the extra mile on vehicle accident scenes according to friends who brought tribute to him on social media.
People, we need to ask where is our weapons? We can’t fight against these attackers who have knives, pangas and guns with our bare hands. We need to arm ourselves or otherwise accept to be killed for small things like phones.
Another man, husband and father is gone, and for what? A phone and a wallet.
Do white lives matter?
