A beautiful young student, Sinethemba Ndlovu, was stabbed to death in Msinga.
The event serves as a reminder that we live in a sick society.
We’re a nation of cruel people who refuse to accept the sanctity of human life.
Our country has become a killing zone where vulnerable women are ruthlessly attacked.
This moronic behaviour continues unabated and unchallenged. We live in a war zone where predators strike and kill without mercy.
Mzansi is the most violent country on the African continent, surpassing conflict regions where wars are raging.
Living in the shadow of death is not what our country’s ancestors fought for.
This culture of violence brings with it a gruesome class of individuals who believe they’re entitled to determine the value of human life.
We live in a culture that doesn’t recognise the intrinsic distinction of individual worth.
There’s mounting evidence that our violent society’s disregard for human life has brought about unspeakable tragedy.
Unless government takes a harsh stand, we will most certainly turn into a lawless society where law-abiding citizens are forced to live under siege.
