We sent our uncle to check up on her and only to find her brutally murdered by the burglars.
We are shuttered. Not the Christmas we wished for.
Since this is the one time of year that families can gather together and celebrate, the festive season is the worst time to plan a funera. Our hearts go out to all the families that find themselves having to bury their loved ones.

As many as 6,424 people were killed by other people in South Africa in the first quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year – an increase of 664 people murdered a year ago when the country was placed under Covid-19 lockdown level one and two, Cele said.
When averaged over the 91 days between April and June, that’s 71 people murdered in the country every day.
These statistics are shocking and show the level of lawlessness in this country. Something needs to be done quickly before the entire country becomes a murder scene.
