Man set on fire in shocking robbery

[Mila]

TIA.



If you are in my yard an my gate is closed I will shoot to kill you.
If you are in my house I will shoot to kill you.
If you point a gun at me I will shoot to kill you.
If you take something from me that does not belong to you I will shoot to make sure you will never be able to run again.

I doubt if I will move to another country till things get a lot worse, (looks like Zim 8-10 years ago).

Yeah I might be a fool but I really do love my country and I still believe we cn turn it around.

Me too but i am scared now....

lol, everyone must die sometime. And I for one refuse to miss out on life because of a small group of criminals!

But yes it does always stay in the back of your mind

I agree with you both to a certain extent. I love this country - it's where I was born, where my parents were born, where they built their first house together... There are memories and experiences here that root me to this place - it's my home. I would never be brazen enough to claim that there aren't better countries elsewhere - places I could have new experiences... But it's one thing to choose that willingly, it's a whole other thing to be forced into making that choice.

I'm scared of living in this country. I love it, but I am still afraid. I've been drawn into the "reality" of it ever since my other half had a gun pointed at him. I want to have a long and preferably "happy" life; not worry if I'm going to get a call that my parents have been shot, or that the love of my life was murdered for a cellphone.

I don't want to leave. I don't want to sell the things I've grown accustomed to, I don't want to go through the effort of applying for a visa... I don't want to have to get used to new cultures and ways of life... And I definitely don't want to sit in a plane for 12-15 hours... But I don't want a president named Jacob Zuma, a gun pointed at my loved ones or to die before I'm even thirty either.

If only "leaving" were easy.

OMG, I stayed in one of only a few complexes there when I worked for Anglo Plats.

Does anyone know the name of the complex ?

Gvt should issue "them" all with cellpones...maybe then they won't rape, butcher, hijack and kill "us". How many of "us" have taken one of "them's" cellphones that way..oh..no thanks..we prefer to buy our own ..and pay taxes..to pay for their antiretrovirals..and endless offspring!

I'm afraid I'm also neurotic and live in a constant state of paranoia because of this. I can't sleep at night because every time I hear the slightest sound in or outside the house I freeze up, and imagine myself ending up like this 5 minutes later. The same with arriving home at night. I HATE these people for making me like this. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

I use to be exactly the same, remember those days. Noise, get up, check around! Go back to bed, another noise, get up, check around... have smoke....Get back into bed, watch TV, fall asleep, hear noise.... Its not the way to live! It took a while for me to adapt to NZ, now if i hear a noise, I roll over and go to sleep!!! Dont even bother getting up!

I see you from Hout Bay, I thought it was still fairly safe there or has the place also gone to the dogs?

Aaag wat. If you're single, sleep in a double bed. Have some decent burglar bars in front of your window and a thick, locked bedroom door. You sleep on one side of the bed and on the other you place a Colt .45 pistol and a "Striker" Protecta (that's a semi-automatic shotgun with twelve rounds in the mag). You hear a noise, you stay in bed. Let the ****ers carry away your house. If they feel like opening your door, put on the light and find yourself a corner. If there's only one guy, kill him and it's done. If there are five or six, I promise you they will start running when the fourth guy drops.
