The violence in crimes is getting worse and worse in South Africa, and it is well beyond reason that it goes on as it does. Yet again a house robbery has seen a person senselessly and violently attacked for a few meager things.
A Portuguese gentleman in the South of Johannesburg arrived at home unsuspecting, on the 26th of November, to find two intruders in his house! It is thanks only to the divine that his family was not home at the time and were thus safe, but the two viciously attacked the unsuspecting man.
They demanded, and got, the safe keys from him, then tore the jewelry from his body and took the money that he had on his person before emptying the safe of all its contents.
Having robbed the man, they then proceeded to beat him further before casually leaving the scene.
The man was left in dire straits and in need of hospitalization, and indeed as of the writing of this article on the 2nd of December 2014, the man is still in hospital from his injuries.
It is clear to me that the safety of the community is no longer a guarantee in our society, and it is a sad thing to have to admit that the criminal community has more rights and lives a better life than any of the honest and good citizens in our country.
We wish the greatest of health and healing to the gentleman, and we hope that the people that attacked him in this disgusting manner are soon apprehended and brought to justice.
