Maybe the 2010 visitors should be buying bullet proof vests.

Pretoria - Three armed robbers held firearms to the heads of ten-year-old twins from Midrand, before shooting their father in front of them.

Kobus Snyman, 42, was shot in the heart. His older daughter, Lenika, 16, and his wife Leenette, 38, also watched him being shot.

The robbers also held up Snyman's mother-in-law, Shirley, 57, sister-in-law Debbie van der Vyver, 34, and a friend, Eureke Kriel.

The family shouldn't be too despondent. They got the WC coming to our shores :)
 
"I looked at them [the robbers] straight in the eyes and said: 'No!' Then I screamed: 'Dad!'" she said.

Snyman woke up. But before he could open the door [a glass door] - his hand was on the door handle - one of the robbers shot him, said Van der Vyver.

In spite of the wound, Snyman started running to the bedroom, presumably to fetch his pistol, but collapsed dead on the stairs

This is terrible :( :mad:
 
Shocking.

How the f@ck can you have absolutely no regard for human life.

I hope the bastards rot in hell.
 
"Mmakgomo Semono, police spokesperson, confirmed that the police are investigating a charge of murder and armed robbery.".....

FFS!!! Duuuuuuuh!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
 
So sad :-( this happens on a daily basis in SA and yet the government makes it more difficult to own a firearm for self defense.

I clearly remember Zuma saying he will bring back the death penalty if he is elected president. Referendum time! Chances...

People need to be vigilant and expect that these type of incidents could happen to them, as sad as it sounds. I have to spend around R35k on security for my new house thanks to all these criminal bastards, which I can hardly afford now but I'd rather be alive.

He can't do that without violating the constitution and no court would hand down a sentence contrary to the constitution either.
 
Are the initial lines of that story deliberately misleading? It's written to make it sound as though the family was rounded up, doing nothing and then the father was shot because the robbers felt like it.

They could bring it back, but I'd rather they spent time and money on something practical.
