Guest Big H Posted January 30, 2009 Share This thread is NOT supposed to be seen in a negative light, I am just gatvol and scared for my children, other family and friends. My son just phoned. His father in law was attacked and assaulted and their maid was raped and robbed of her monthly pay by an armed assailant in their house today. Both the maid and my "swaer" were hurt but fortunately not seriously, the trauma remains. I thank God that his wife were not there. My son says that he feels that it is just not worth while living there anymore. Being newly married and with a baby on the way I cannot but completely agree with him. The thing who attacked them spoke flawless Tswana and preferred to be addressed in Afrikaans. He made off with the maid's salary, a cellular phone, a laptop, a PDA and DVD player. The Police acted swiftly and started tracking him on the cellular phone. Just as they were able to pinpoint him the bastard switched off the phone. It is sad sad sad that evil is taking over in such leaps and bounds. Is the "Rainbow Nation" still worth while persuing??????Big H2009-01-30 14:14:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted January 30, 2009 Share Jammer om te hoor Big H. Verskriklik om te hoor en ek hoop dat hulle weer hulle lewens kan bymekaar kry. Unfortunately something like this stays with the victim despite what happens to the perpetrator. I hope they can find strength to deal with it. My sympathies.

Growler Posted January 30, 2009 Share Big H, glad to hear that the injuries were not too bad (although the trauma will still be an issue). Hope they catch the bastards. It's the only way that things can get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened to his family he is welcome to vent his feelings about it here. You don't have to contribute, but why the attitude? This need to bitch on every thread has infested the Hub. it's getting tediousWillehond2009-01-30 14:29:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted January 30, 2009 Share Legend, not because of the sunshine! It's called opportunity. I got a good one and went for it. Didn't think too long and I'm enjoying the ride. Life is so short, you can't sit around just thinking ' what if'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted January 30, 2009 Share Ha ha, I'll be over there tomorrow morning!!! Every Saturday we ride over there to go and ride "De Kluis" (Ronde van Beverbeek). It's a little rondje just south of the border which enables us to race in the motherland. Just have to do it! See you there at around 10:00Willehond2009-01-30 15:19:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
